Switched to Time instead of Bars+Beats — how to revert?

As I’m new to Cubase Pro (v14), I occasionally make mistakes without realising what I’ve changed or how to undo it. This afternoon, while working on some recordings, I must have pressed something and the pre-roll, post-roll, locators, and punch in/out points (etc.) have switched to time format (minutes/seconds) instead of musical divisions (bars/beats). I can’t work comfortably like this and I don’t know how to revert it.

How to switch it back to bars/beats?

I have fixed it. I don´t know how I made the mistake (what I pushed) but I have found how to revert it.

Here 2 pictures just in case that they are useful for anyone else.

You probably hit the period key accidentally.. it gets me from time to time!
