JUMP_STEP, JS

Overview

The Jump Step function moves the chart forward in steps equal to the quantization. Functionally, this is identical to using a - dash. It will jump forward by the current amount of steps, step distance being whatever the quantization/step is at this point.

Arguments

Name	Type	Description
StepCount (optional)	integer	The amount of steps to jump forward. Default is 1

Note

If step count is empty JS(), it will jump 1 step. If step count is less than 1, I.e. JS(0), it will not jump at all.

Tip

Default quantization is 1/16, so unless a different quantization is specified, Jump Step will always jump in intervals of 1/16. See Quantization for more information about quantization.

Example 1

123JS()543

This will jump 1 step forwards after the first yellow note.

Example 2

123JS(4)543

This will jump 4 steps forwards after the first yellow note.

Using Dashes

Using a - dash serves as a short-hand for the Jump Step function, and will jump 1 step.

Example 3

123-345

This shows shorthand Jump Step with - and will jump 1 step after the first yellow note.

Tip

Multiple dashes in a row will behave like one might expect. Two dashes --, will jump two steps, --- will jump three steps, and so on.

Different Quantizations

Using different quantizations will change the behaviour. See Quantization for more information about quantization.

Example 4

|8|123-345

Jump step in quantization 1/8.
