I’d like to be able to see either bars and beats, or time in minutes and seconds in the transport panel in the toolbar. I don’t like floating transport panels, they get in the way. Is this possible? I right-clicked (a la cubase) expecting to be able to change the units, but no dice. I can’t find anything in the prefs/options either.
I don’t think so.
The only way I know to get the time elapsed visible when you make the transport window a floating one (which you don’t like). Then you see both bars and time.
In the forthcoming update, you will be able to left-click on the time display in the mini transport in the toolbar to cycle through the bar.beat.tick, time elapsed, and timecode format displays.
