Ruler

The ruler runs horizontally across the top of the Tracks area and other time-based windows (such as the Audio Track Editor, Piano Roll Editor, and Score Editor). It shows time divisions in bars and beats, or in hours, minutes, and seconds. You can use the ruler to align items in the Tracks area and set the project position, cycle area, and punch locators.

As the project plays, you can see the part currently playing by watching the playhead move across the ruler. When you move the playhead or move regions or other items in the Tracks area, you can use the ruler to place them at the correct point in time.
