For details, see “Undoing the Last Edit” on page 42.
Note
In the following cases, “Impossible” appears and you can’t erase
a portion of a track:
• The point B you entered comes before point A.
• After repeated editing of a track, it may become impossible to
erase a portion of the track any further. This is a technical
limitation of the MD system and is not a mechanical error.
Dividing Tracks
You can divide a r ecorded track at any point simply by
adding a track mark at that point. This is especially useful
when you want to divide r ecorded material which
contains multiple tracks but only one track number (see
page 23), or when you want to locate a certain point in the
track.
Example: Dividing the second track
AAA
B1 B2
CCC
1 2 3
AAA
BBB
BBB
B1 B2
CCC
1 2 3 4
When you divide a track, the total number of tracks
increases by one and all tracks following the divided track
are automatically r enumber ed.
