<dfn>BBT markers</dfn> allow resetting the timeline to a particular bar and
beat. Most of the time a BBT marker will reset it to 1|1|0 (the very first
beat of the very first bar) so that for each song in a multi-song session
there would be a musical time origin. However it's entirely possible to reset
to an arbitrary value such as 7|3|0.
</p>
<p>
To create a new BBT marker, <kbd class="mod1n"></kbd>-click on the
Bars:Beats ruler. This will open a dialog titled <kbd class="window">New Music
Time</kbd> where you can name the marker and define what bar (left field) and
beat (right field) this marker should reset the time to.

The timeline grid and the ruler will be updated accordingly:

<p>
Dragging a BBT marker right or left will reset the musical time at a different
position on the timeline.
</p>
<p>
Right-clicking on a BBT marker opens a menu with two options:
<kbd class="menu">Edit…</kbd> and <kbd class="menu">Remove</kbd>.
</p>
<p>
Choosing <kbd class="menu">Edit…</kbd> opens the
<kbd class="menu">Edit Musical Time</kbd> dialog where it's possible to rename
the marker and set a different bar and/or beat to reset the musical time to:
