163SONG EDIT MODE / TRACK EDIT
tmp (Tempo change)
This event indicates a tempo change to occur over a specified number of
beats. The numbers above the [CS4] slider define the tempo change: the
number to the left of the slash (-99 … 0 … +99, or atmp for “a tempo”) sets
the number of beats per minute by which the tempo will decrease or increase,
and the number to the right of the slash (0 … 99) sets the number of beats
from the “tmp” mark over which the change will occur. A setting of “+20/8”,
for example, would increase the tempo by 20 beats per minute over 8 beats (2
measures of 4/4 time). The [F4] function key is used to toggle the cursor
between the left and right numbers, and [CS4] is used to change the selected
number.
mark (Search mark)
This sets one of 16 markers to be used by the rhythm track search function
described on page 165. [CS4] is used to specify the marker (A … P).

This function is used to insert a new part at any point in an existing rhythm
track. Press [F5] to engage the rhythm track insert function after locating the
desired insert point via the main rhythm track edit screen, described above.
Then use [CS3] and [CS4] to specify the event to be inserted. The event types
that can be inserted and their parameters are exactly the same as those de-
scribed for the main rhythm track edit screen, above. Once the event to be
inserted has been specified, press [ENTER/YES] to begin the insert procedure.
The following confirmation display will appear:
Press [ENTER/YES] again to confirm that you want to go ahead with the
insert operation, or press [EXIT/NO] to cancel.
When the event has been inserted, “Completed!” will appear briefly on the
display, then the display will return to the main rhythm track edit mode.
