+The ↵ markers either side of a line are its line breaks: drag one to move it
+(it snaps to beats and stays between the lines it separates) and double-click
+one to put it back where songtrace places it. Moving a break does not mark
+either line's notes as edited, so they still follow a rebuild.
+
+The **GRID** bar above the notes sets the chart's BPM and GAP. Changes redraw
+the grid as you type and are charted on **APPLY**; ×2 and ÷2 fix a tempo
+detected at double or half speed, and **ALIGN TO NOTE** moves GAP the least
+that puts the selected note on a beat. Notes keep their timing in seconds and
+re-snap to the new grid. **RESET** returns to the BPM songtrace chose (your
+BPM override, or the detected tempo) with GAP at the first note.

 Edits survive every rebuild, REBUILD ALL FROM… included: they are kept apart
 from what the pipeline generates and laid back over it each time. **REVERT**
 returns a line to the generated notes. Changing a line's lyrics sets its edit
