Usage

It can be placed on a classic row. When clicking on the timeline, it will automatically be placed. Here, the author can edit the beat's tick, swing, and hold time. One can also change this event into Set Beat Modifiers and break it into Free Time Pulses from this menu.

The tick of a classic beat refers to the spacing between each of the beat's pulses. The default is 1, making the player hit on the 7th beat.

The swing of a classic beat refers to how the 2nd, 4th, and 6th pulses swing relative to the other pulses. (See more at Swing).
