Defining the Track Time Base

The time base of a track determines if the events on a track are positioned to bars and beats (musical time base) or to the timeline (linear time base). Changing the playback tempo affects only the time position of events on tracks with a musical time base.

Procedure

In the track list, click Toggle Timebase to change the time base.

Result

Linear time base is indicated by a clock symbol:

Note

Switching between linear and musical time base results in a very small loss of positioning precision. Therefore, you should avoid switching repeatedly between the two modes.
