Scores with cadenzas
Why auto-sync struggles with cadenzas, and how to time them.
Auto-sync finds its place in the music by counting bars. A cadenza is usually printed without bar lines, so auto-sync has nothing to count through that passage, and it can pull the lines around the cadenza out of place.
If you’re tapping every line in by hand, cadenzas need no special treatment. Just tap each line when it starts.
Mark the cadenza as unsure
In the sync step, press Unsure and pick the first and last line of the cadenza. Auto-sync then leaves that passage alone, places the music on either side of it properly, and estimates the times inside it from the score.
Check the lines inside it
The times inside a marked passage are only estimates. Play through the cadenza and drag each marker to where its line actually starts.
The studio reference explains the Unsure button in more detail.
