Ok, and thanks for th eresponses, although it still does not help me overcoming that problem. As I wrote in my very first question, I had one project where the blue slider already reached its end, when the song wasn't even a quarter done. I did find something then, to make that disappear and after I did that, the blue line only reached its end when th esong ended. Problem is, I don't remember what I did.
WHen I hit 'Project', 'Set timecode at now', with the vertical white line at the very end of the song, it offers an SMPTE/MTC time box (see pic) and you can enter a value. Perhaps it does matter that I entered a time in milliseconds into the SMPPTE/MTC, as nothing changed. I will have to try that
I must say that I am very pleased with your quick responses and I hope that I will get one that proves to be the solution, as I can't find anything in any Cakewalk help page or even professional manual.
Actually, I just went into Cakewalk and changed the time to H:M:S:F, went to the start of the song and set the Now time to 00:00:00:00, then went to the end and set the now time to 00:04:19:14 and it made no difference. The blue bar still stops way before the song gets to the end. ALl I want is for the blue bar to reach the end when the song reaches its end, not way before.
I use one of the stock themes and it happens in other projects, as I mentioned before when it ran out at a quarter of the song. As I base all my songs on th esame template this behaviour of it stopping say at about 85% of the song length happens in most of them, but I had the one that really stood out at a quarter of the song. It must be possible to sync bar and position in th esong correctly.
Thanks
