Scenario: I've just played piano for 5 minutes on my MIDI controller into Cakewalk. I play back what I just did and there's a nasty clinker where my thumb hit the wrong key at one of the chord changes. I hit M to drop a marker at that location for later cleaning, then stop the transport.
I open the Piano Roll and it's centered on notes 4 minutes earlier in the timeline. I of course want to get to the one where I placed the marker, as fast as possible. What do I do?
I can (dis)engage Scroll Lock, which will make Cakewalk to center on the playback cursor and then send the cursor to the marker using the Markers module in Control Bar. Is marker navigation something that I need to go back to the Track View to work with (unless I'm going prev/next with a keystroke)? No way directly from PRV?
Better way to do this? I spend more time than I'd like scrolling up and down and back and forth in PRV trying to find the note(s) I want to edit.
