As you can set the time signature of the blank measures, this is
convenient when inserting a phrase having a different time signature
in the middle of a song.

want to edit (p. 136).

The Track Edit window appears.

[8 (Select)].
A message of “INSERT MEASURE: Select target point.” appears.

track or pattern into which you want to insert blank
measures. If you want to specify all tracks, press [7 (TrkAll)].
