Depending on the Song data, you can make the score
more readable by adjusting the timing of the notes. This
determines the minimum timing resolution used in the
Song. For example, if there are both quarter notes and
eighth notes in the Song, you should set this value to
“eighth note.” Any notes or rests shorter than this value
will not be shown in the score.
