Bar Ruler
There is a bar ruler at the top of all the horizontal time-
based windows (i.e. the Arrange, Matrix, Drum and
Score).
This ruler is used to display and set the;
– song position,
– start/end of the song and
– cycle and autodrop locators.
Display
Depending on the zoom settings (page 88) the bars are
shown at the top edge in units of 1, 4, 8 or 16. Changes in
time signature are also shown here.
In the bottom third, there is a vertical line for each bar.
The shorter lines represent one beat, but are not always
visible (depending on the zoom setting).
Start and End Markers:
The song start is normally at position 1 1 1 1. You can move
the song start to an earlier position for playing upbeats or
program change commands, by grabbing and dragging it
with the mouse. The position display in the top left of the
window will tell you where it is. The song end (default: bar
201) can be set using the same method, or via the numer-
ical display (see page 109).
Song Position Line
The song position line (SPL) is a vertical line which indi-
cates the current song position in all horizontal, time-
based windows. You can grab the line with the mouse, and
drag it to the desired position (but only if there is no object
at the mouse position when you drag it). Choosing Wide
Song Position Line under Options > Settings > Display
Preferences… switches to a thicker SPL.
