Muting/unmuting a recorder's part

During playback, you can mute or unmute a recorder's part.
Muting is useful to play a part on the keyboard, while letting
the recorder to continue playing the other.
Depending on the settings made in Global mode (see "Mute
Level" on page 53), muting may completely silence the part, or
just attenuate it. Attenuation is very useful for practicing, since
it lets you play over a part that you can still hear at a very soft
level.
Note: The part's status is automatically restored when you
choose a different song (it is turned on if there are notes, or
turned off if the part is empty).

Changing the song's tempo

Each song contains its own tempo. You can, however, change
it during playback, for example to make it easier playing along
with the song.
