Way to center quick-play on screen so the tracks scroll?

Post by AirstreamPodder » Sun Jun 24, 2018 8:26 pm

Hi all! Trying to find more efficient ways to edit "ums" and tongue-clicks etc. Finding the way Quick-Play scrolls (moving all the way to the right of the screen, and then rebooting a new window of track content) to be suboptimal.

Is there a preference where I can tell the Quick-Play green arrow to stay centered on the screen and instead have the various tracks scroll right to left across the screen? This would allow a fixed and broader window of content to edit.

Thanks!

Click on the green upside down triangle at the left of the Timeline - that icon will turn into a green drawing pin, indicating fixed, centred, playhead.
