Set Beat Modifiers

Set Beat Modifiers, more commonly referred to as Set Row Xs (both internally and in the community), is an event in the Rows tab that sets the modifiers of a classic row. It handles Row Xs and modern Syncopation.

Tab	Rows
Type	SetRowXs
Origin	r1

Usage

It can be accessed by placing a classic beat and clicking Switch to Set Beat Modifiers. This will show a menu that can let the user edit the Xs on every beat of the row as well as the position of the Syncopation arrows. If the row has Synco, the author can also edit the swing of the Synco, and its cue sound. (See more at Syncopation).
