Measure

To enter the Measure keyword in the command line, use one of the options:

  • Type Measure
  • Type the shortcut Mea

The Measure keyword is used together with the phaser speed (speed layer) to define the length of time of a phaser. Knocking in the measure layer without specifying a value, will take the number of steps of the running phaser as the value. 

For more information see Phasers

Hint:
The measure layer also affects how the width of each step is calculated. 
Important:
When using the measure layer, multiple width value combinations can produce identical results. To ensure predictable timing, we recommended you consider the width value of a step as the percentage of a beat and ensure that the total width of all steps in the phaser equals the number of beats specified in the measure layer.
