To understand these, it might be best to try them with your own hands to
figure out how you want to try to say this in your language.
If your cursor is at | and you "cursor back bar and select" you will select
everything (notes, rests, whatever) from | back to the <
1 - - - 2 - - - 3 - - - 4 - - -

> Cycle dots = no translation data
Every time you apply this, it moves through three possible states for each
note you have selected.
If the note has: It will have:
0 dots 1 dot
1 dot 2 dots
2 dots 0 dots
This also changes the length of the note.
@@@@ 0 dots
@@@@@@ 1 dot
@@@@@@@ 2 dots
> Cycle dots without duration change = no translation data
"without duration change" cycles through the three possible states for each
note but it does not change the length of the note. The dots are visible, but
have no real effect. (I have no idea why we have this function. I only found
this myself very recently, and it seems like a bad idea.)
I have found the word "cycle" hard to translate. Think of the Recycle symbol:

An example of a free reed instrument from your part of the world is this:

Also, the harmonica, the accordion, and similar instruments.

Here is a page explaining what a siren is:
http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/サイレン
A mouth siren would be some kind of device to make a noise similar to a siren,
which you would play with your mouth.

EP means electric piano

"Detuned" means to play at a flat pitch on purpose. If A is supposed to be
440 Hz, you might play it at 437 Hz to detune it slightly.

A violin played with long, slow bowing motions. Used for long notes.

The name of a drum kit. It looks like 部屋 is a good enough translation.

The name of a drum kit. This word is complicated, with many possible
meanings. I see there is this:

Since they printed "Power!!" as the title for a native Japanese publication,
it is probably OK to copy the English as your translation.
> Brush = ???
The name of a drum kit. The name comes from the brush that is used to play
the snare drum in this kit. A brush is a special kind of drumstick, mostly
used in jazz. Here is a picture:
