Good idea, KHS. I just noticed that the hand is gone now. I have no idea why. It’s been replaced with a pencil. My locators are side by side at the 0 marker.
The ruler is divided into two horizontal parts. The lower part is dark grey where the cross-hair symbol is displayed. The upper part is light grey where the hand or pencil appears when the mouse is hovered. I don’t mind having to stay in the lower part of the ruler to set my cursor precisely at a bar but like Microsoft, the Cubase developers make the ruler so shallow in height that it takes time to get just the right position in the ruler so the desired tool is selected. If we could resize the ruler height, that would be the best work around.
It’s too often that developers don’t think about workflow. What seems easy to them is a royal pain in the ass for everyone else!
