This feature lets you change the length of any selected tracks after 
recording a pattern. If you are lengthening a pattern, the pattern is looped 
to fill in the empty space. If you set the length shorter than the existing 
pattern, the pattern will be truncated.

You can set the pattern length before you extend so that only those 
bars will be copied. The copied data will be merged with the data in the 
subsequent bars of the pattern.
