What it does

Use the settings in this dialog box to control the type and measure assignment for the Wait for Foot Pedal marker you are adding or editing. For Start Waiting At, specify the point you want SmartMusic to pause the accompaniment. For Resume At, specify the note point at which the accompaniment should resume (upon pressing the foot pedal).

  • Start Waiting At: Rehearsal Mark • Bar • Note • Repeat. Choose a rehearsal mark, repeat, or specify a bar and note to add a Wait for Foot Pedal marker.
  • Resume At: Rehearsal Mark • Bar • Beat • Repeat. Choose a rehearsal mark, repeat, or specify a bar and note to add a Resume marker.
  • Reset Tempo on Resume. Check this box to add a Reset Tempo marker after the Resume marker. This resets the tempo to the previous value.
  • OK • Cancel. Click OK to apply these settings to the SmartMusic Marker you are adding/editing and return to the Add SmartMusic Markers dialog box. Click Cancel to return to the Add SmartMusic Markers dialog box without making changes.
