  Let S = k[x_1,...,x_n] be a Z^r-graded ring with deg (x_i) = a_i \in Z^r for
each i and suppose that M is a finitely generated Z^r-graded S-module. In this
paper we describe how to find finite subsets of Z^r containing the multidegrees
of the minimal multigraded syzygies of M. To find such a set, we first coarsen
the grading of M so that we can view M as a Z-graded S-module. We use a
generalized notion of Castelnuovo-Mumford regularity, which was introduced by
D. Maclagan and G. Smith, to associate to M a number which we call the
regularity number of M. The minimal degrees of the multigraded minimal syzygies
are bounded in terms of this invariant.
