Grid Type Menu

Allows you to specify a grid type that determines the grid and snap resolution in the event display.

Note

This setting only has an effect if Snap Type is set to one of the grid options.

To open the Grid Type pop-up menu, click Grid Type on the toolbar.

If you select Bars+Beats as ruler format, the following grid types are available:

Bar: Sets the grid and snap resolution to bars.
Beat: Sets the grid and snap resolution to beats.
Use Quantize: Sets the grid and snap resolution to the value that is activated in the Quantize Presets pop-up menu.
Adapt to Zoom: Sets the grid and snap resolution to the horizontal zoom level. The more you zoom in on the event display, the finer the resolution. High zoom levels allow you to snap to 64th notes, low zoom levels allow you to snap to bars.

Note
Adapt to Zoom is only available if Bars+Beats is set as ruler display format.

Note

You can assign key commands to the grid types in the Key Commands dialog in the Edit category.

If you activate Time Linear in the ruler context menu, the distances between the grid lines are still constant but based on musical values such as bars and beats.

If you select Seconds as ruler format, the following grid types are available:

1 ms: Sets the grid and snap resolution to 1 ms.
10 ms: Sets the grid and snap resolution to 10 ms.
100 ms: Sets the grid and snap resolution to 100 ms.
1000 ms: Sets the grid and snap resolution to 1000 ms.
