About the Ruler, Song
Position and Locators
Regardless of which view mode is selected, you will find a horizontal ruler at the
top of the sequencer display. This indicates the meter positions, that is, the po-
sitions in bars and beats.
D The numbering and detail of the ruler depends on the horizontal
magnification.
At a medium zoom setting, odd bars will be shown with a bar number and even bars will
be indicated by a mark.
If you have zoomed in fully, each bar will be numbered, and every 1/32 note position will
be indicated by a mark.
In the ruler, you will also find four different position markers, each with a separate
“flag”:
✪ The End (E) marker indicates the end of the song. The program uses
this information when exporting the song as an audio file and when
you scroll horizontally in the sequencer area.
Playback or recording will not stop at the End marker.
