Hi Annabelle,

Ahh, how sequences cope with different time signatures.
take the number 12, it has factors 1, 2, 3, 4 and 6
1 would equal a 12th of a beat,
2 would equal a 6th of a beat,
3 would equal a quarter of a beat,
4 would equal a third of a beat,
 6 would equal half a beat,
12 would equal one beat
Now 12 would work but would be limited if you wanted to cut a fraction off say 
the half beat?
so lets not have 12 as one beat, lets multiply that 12 by something crazy like 
80.
12 multiplied by 80 gives us a whopping 960 ticks to the beat.
in music terms,
960 ticks =a crotchet,
480 =a quaver,
240 ticks =a Semiquaver,
   120 =a Demisemiquaver,
60 = a Hemidemisemiquaver
30 is very small indeed ha ha.
don't think it has a name? it so small it's a 120th of a note.

Hope this helps.

  What about if the song is in a compound meter, like 6/8 or 12/8 time? Or how 
about some of those unusual meters, like 5/4, 7/4, and 7/8?

  Hi Annabelle,

  There's another way you can move through Sonar. Each beat is 960 ticks. so 
have a beat is 480.
  If say you want 7th bar and you want to be 1 and a half beats in.
  Simply press F5 three times then type 7.2.480
  Now press enter and you are 7 beat 1 and a half beat into your song.

    Are you talking about in Sonar? I've never been able to move in a project 
beat-by-beat, but I've been able to go measure-by-measure. Is there really a 
way to go beat-by-beat?
