changes the length of the entire Arrangement.
If you import a MIDI le into the Arrangement, you'll be given an option to import any
time signature information that was saved with the le. If you choose to do this, Live will
automatically create time signature markers in the correct places. This makes it very easy to
work with complex music created in other sequencer or notation software.

the Arrangement loop on and sets the Arrangement loop brace to whatever timespan is
selected in the Arrangement.
