I wonder… I like to see the duration (time) of my songs instead of bar count.
But I still want the grid type to be based on bar/beat/quantize for example.
But when I switch to “seconds” for that display, the grid type changes to options like “1000ms” etc.
Is it not possible to have both?
Thanks
I see! I wish I were wrong, but I think those two go together. You can’t have the main display in Seconds and the grid in Bars & Beats or vice versa.
I always work with Bars & Beats when writing music. If I need to know the time elapsed, I interject some ruler tracks between the instruments. It works well (except sometimes I wish I could make the rulers a bit wider).
Sure. I also wouldn’t be against an optional (time) readout next to the bars and beats. A combined time display of sorts.
You can expand the time display by dragging to the right (on the three dots) so it shows both primary and secondary time displays. Does take up more toolbar space, though. Alternatively I think . (period) by default switches the display between primary and secondary time formats.
The period key, next to the comma, next to M. It’s the default key command to switch between primary and secondary time displays. (Bars & Beats <-> Seconds)
