-Syncopation is cued with distinct beat sounds to audibly indicate where the Syncopation is. The Set Row Xs event on the Rows tab of the editor can be used to add moving arrows to a beat to indicate which pulse is offset. Additionally, Xs can be put onto the row, however, they cannot mute any beat in which a cue sound should be played (e.g. beats 1, 3, 5).
+Syncopation is most commonly cued with distinct beat sounds to audibly indicate where the Syncopation is. Additionally, Xs can be put onto the row, however, they cannot mute any beat in which these sounds should be played (e.g. beats 1, 3, 5 for "Beep" sounds). "Chirp" is less restrictive than "Beep" in this sense as it only has sounds on the syncopation, rather than on every two beats up until the syncopation. However, "Beep" is recommended as it's more standard in custom levels. With "Chirp", "Cue modifier changes" is required when the Syncopation is added or removed to a row, i.e. it is not required if the Syncopation is moved to a different beat (e.g. switching from 1-2-3-4-5-67 to 1-2-3-4-56-7).
-Syncopation has two different visual cues: a green arrow on the row on the beat that is syncopated, and a yellow glow on the row. At least one of these visuals cues must be used, and both can be used at the same time for additional clarification. Using a green arrow is a built-in mechanic in the Set Row Xs event, therefore normal classic beats can be used and the syncopation will be done automatically. If not, then [[Free Time Beats|freetimes]] must be used to execute the behaviour.
