    A measure consists of 4 beats. Each stepfile is divided into measures for you before the steps are made. And basically the faster the beats per measure; the faster the track will scroll. Each measure is labeled with a number for your convienence.

              keep in mind, it's only 4 beats in most simfile editors.

              in actual music, a measure can be any number of beats, though it will typically be 4, 3, or 2, with quarter notes counting as each beats. in rarer occasions, there will be 5, 7, or 6. with eighth notes, it will typically be in multiples of 3 (mostly in 6).

                    If it's a .sm file, then it distinguishes between different measures using that notation. If it's a .dwi file, then it doesn't.

                          The comma is there to signify a new measure. I'm not sure why it doesn't.

                            The comma marks a new measure and the more rows you put, you get 8th notes etc.

                            there are 8 8th notes in a measure...and 8 rows and 1 comma will signify it is split into 8th notes...

                            If you have to resort by adding some steps in by hand, knowing this will help

                            If there is no measure number dont worry about it.. its nothing death defying..
