@m.c , I realise I didn’t properly answer your question (not 100% sure I understand it). But I use the jog to move the cursor and current play point together, i.e. to work repeatedly when editing or planning to over-dub, sometimes over a small section of the timeline, going backwards and forwards.
I found this post recently that I think is worth up-voting, the idea for a mini CC121 Controller that is basically a slider and a big jog dial sounds spot on for me! New CC121 version? - #21 by sempondr
