right window section serves to restore all the settings that determine
how you hear the displayed patterns, but it does not change the
graphics. Initializing is therefore a three-step process.

The Note Editor functions detailed below have settings that are
located along the top of the Note Editor window or framed in the
rectangular section nearest the bottom. You can set step
resolution independently for each loop, and the program fits steps
into their allotted time correctly so long as your choice from the
steps menu is a multiple of the Meter (the number of counts per
bar). The multiples listed in the steps menu include sixteenths,
32nds, and in most Meters triplets, allowing in the case of 7-count
Meter, for example, 14, 28, and 21 steps respectively. After a little
practice making loops, it becomes easy to anticipate the resolution
or count-multiple you need for a particular effect.

Whenever you change the parameters for either step resolution or
loop length, maxWerk resizes the four displays to accommodate
the new total number of steps; that is to say, step resolution
multiplied by a number of bars from one to four, up to a limit of 128
steps per loop. The default size is a one-bar loop of 16 steps. If you
assign number of steps and bar length to a loop, then proceed to
make a note pattern, and afterwards decide to lengthen the loop by
adding bars or doubling the step resolution, the existing bar graph
data shifts to the left, leaving some empty space to show the extra
room created for more. If you reduce the number of steps in the
loop by reducing the number of bars or halving its resolution, some
of the entered values towards the end of the loop will be truncated
and disappear.

The button that reads <-expand pattern->, located next to the loop
length and step number menus at the top of the Note Editor window,
opens a window that includes some of maxWerk's handiest
features. Here are options for dealing with an increased number of
loop steps without disturbing the patterns you have already entered.
You can double existing note, velocity, octave, and wrap step
patterns using the stretch function, or you can automatically enter
