<p>
<dfn>BBT markers</dfn> allow resetting the timeline to a particular bar and
beat. Most of the time a BBT marker will reset it to 1|1|0 (the very first
beat of the very first bar) so that for each song in a multi-song session
there would be a musical time origin. However it's entirely possible to reset
to an arbitrary value such as 7|3|0.

<p>
To create a new BBT marker, <kbd class="mod1n"></kbd>-click on the
Bars:Beats ruler. This will open a dialog titled 'New Music Time' where you
can name the marker and define what bar (left field) and beat (right field)
this marker should reset the time to.
