Sign Text
The sign text is a text box that shows text on the sign. The text box doesn't have any limits, but only shows some parts of the text in the sign. You can have the maximum of 2 lines, and 44 characters per line.

Duration
The duration can be switched between seconds and beats by clicking on the "Beats" text. The maximum duration for both Beats and Seconds can be 9999999 (7 digits).

Advanced

The sign text supports RD Code which can be used to tell BPM drifts using the {bpm} variable or it can be used to say the score of your RDCode level, for example in Beans Hopper.
