The Project window
1. Move the mouse pointer over the lower border of the
(unselected) track you want to resize.
The mouse pointer turns into a divider symbol.
2. Hold down [Alt]/[Option] and drag the lower border of
the track until it reaches the desired height.
Now, when you select this track, (and “Enlarge Selected Track” is acti-
vated), it will be enlarged. It will revert to the changed size, when you se-
lect a different track.
Zoom presets and Cycle markers
The pop-up menu to the left of the horizontal zoom control
allows you to select, create and organize zoom presets.
These are useful if you want to toggle between different
zoom settings (e.g. one where the whole project is dis-
played in the project window and another with a high
zoom factor for detailed editing). With this pop-up menu,
you can also zoom in on the area between cycle markers
in the project.
The upper part of the menu lists the zoom presets:
• To store the current zoom setting as a preset, select
Add from the pop-up menu.
A dialog appears, allowing you to type in a name for the preset.
• To select and apply a preset, select it from the pop-up
menu.
• The “Zoom Full” preset is always available. Selecting
this option zooms out so that the whole project is visible.
“The whole project” means the timeline from the project
start to the length set in the Project Setup dialog (see
“The Project Setup dialog” on page 35).
• If you want to delete a preset, select “Organize…” from
the pop-up menu.
In the dialog that appears, select the preset in the list and click the De-
lete button. The preset is removed from the list.
• If you want to rename a preset, select “Organize…”
from the pop-up menu.
In the dialog that appears, select the desired preset in the list and click
the Rename button. A second dialog opens, allowing you to type in a
new name for the preset. Click OK to close the dialogs.
The middle part of the pop-up lists any cycle markers you
have added in the project:
• If you select a cycle marker from this menu, the event
display is zoomed in to encompass the marker area (see
“Zooming to cycle markers” on page 109).
• You cannot edit the cycle markers in this pop-up menu.
For information on editing markers, see “The Marker win-
dow” on page 107.
The Zoom history
Cubase maintains a history of recent zoom stages, allow-
ing you to undo and redo zoom operations. This way you
can zoom in several steps and then easily go back to the
zoom stage at which you started.
There are two ways to invoke Undo Zoom and Redo
Zoom:
• Use the items on the Zoom submenu on the Edit menu.
You can also assign key commands for these.
• Double-click with the Zoom tool (magnifying glass) to
Undo Zoom.
Press [Alt]/[Option] and double-click to Redo Zoom.
