<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.

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