Markers and the snap grid
SONAR has a collection of features you can use to simplify and speed the work you do arranging
your projects. Here are a few of the most important things you can do:
• Show gridlines on measure boundaries in the Track view.
• Define and use the snap grid to make drag-and-drop editing more accurate.
• Create markers to identify and work with key time points in your project.

Showing gridlines
Displaying gridlines, or vertical rules, in the Clips pane of the Track view makes it easy to see at a
glance how clips align with each other, how they align with measure boundaries, and when they start
and end.
To show/hide vertical grid lines
1. Click the Track view View menu, point to Display > Vertical Grid Lines and select one of the
following options:
• None. No vertical grid lines are displayed
• Behind Clips. Vertical grid lines are displayed, but clips will draw on top of them, so clip
contents will not be obstructed.
• In Front of Clips. Vertical grid lines are displayed and drawn on top of clips, always visible.
SONAR displays the Track view as you requested.
