Chapter 26: Making Selections 579
The Main Counter displays the playback location
in the time format for the Main Time Scale. The
Sub Counter can be set to any of the other Time
Scale formats for another timing reference.
The Edit Selection indicators (to the right of the
Main and Sub counters) display the Start and End
times, and Length of the current Edit selection ac-
cording to the Main Timebase.
The Main and Sub Counters, as well as the Edit Se-
lection indicators, also appear in the Transport
window when it is set to display Counters.
To navigate with the Edit window Main Counter (or
one of the Edit Selection indicators):
1 Do one of the following:
• Click in one of the counters.
• Press asterisk (*) on the numeric keypad to high-
light the Main Counter in the Edit window (or
the Main Counter in the Transport window or
Big Counter window, if either are displayed).
2 Type in the new location. Press Period (.) to cy-
cle through to the different time fields.
3 Press Enter to accept the new value and auto-
matically locate there.
Scrolling in a Timebase Ruler
You can scroll the contents of the Edit window by
dragging in a ruler. While this does not actually up-
date the session’s Current Location, it does let you
conveniently shift the display left or right for the
sake of finding and editing material.
This method of scrolling is especially useful when
using the Continuous Scrolling option, which does
not update or follow Timeline selections.
To scroll the entire contents of the Edit window
from a ruler:
 While pressing Control+Alt+Start (Windows)
or Command+Option+Control (Mac), drag left
or right in any of the Timebase rulers.
Scrolling with a Scroll Wheel
If you have a mouse with a scroll wheel, you can
use the scroll wheel to scroll vertically or horizon-
tally in any Pro Tools window that has a scroll bar
(such as the MIDI Event List).
To scroll a Pro Tools window vertically:
1 Place the mouse over the window you want to
scroll (for example, in the Edit window you
might want to scroll either the track display or
the Clip List).
2 Scroll the scroll wheel up or down to scroll the
window up or down.
To scroll a Pro Tools window horizontally:
1 Place the mouse over the window you want to
scroll (for example, in the Edit window you
might want to scroll either the track display or
the Clip List).
2 Shift-scroll the scroll wheel up or down to scroll
the window to the left or right.
