To place the playhead in the Bar ruler:
m Click the desired position in the lower third of the Bar ruler.
Double-clicking on the bottom third of the Bar ruler repositions the playhead, and also
toggles between playback (or record) and stop modes.
The top of the Bar ruler contains two locators which are shown as a semi-transparent
gray stripe when inactive, and a green stripe when Cycle mode is active. The start point
of the stripe is determined by the left locator position, and the end point, by the right
locator position. You’ll learn more about the use of locators for playback and recording
duties in this, and following, chapters.
Setting the Playhead With the Position Display
The Transport bar’s Position display shows the current playhead position in two
formats:
 SMPTE Time: The upper row displays the playhead position in SMPTE time format;
hours : minutes : seconds : frames / subframes.
 Musical division of time: The lower row displays the playhead position in bars, beats,
division, and ticks.
A beat corresponds to the denominator in the time signature.
The division value is set in the Transport bar, below the time signature.
A tick is the smallest possible bar sub-division—it is equal to 1/3840th of a note.
To set the playhead position in the Position display, do one of the following:
m Click-hold on any of the numbers in the Position display, and move the mouse up or
down.
m Double-click on either display field, and then type in a new position.
