Replace Starts

With this dialog box, you replace the module for the start of a pattern or the module for Picking-up after pressing-off by another module. With a pattern for a machine with comb, you add or remove the comb function with the Use comb checkbox.
The dialog box is opened by the Replace Starts function in the Edit menu.
This dialog box appears automatically, when you switch from a comb machine to a machine without comb or vice versa using the Change Machine/Gauge/Setup type... function in the Pattern Parameter menu.

Replace the module for the start with another module:

You can also allocate a start to a pattern that still has no start, or remove the start from a pattern that already has a start.
