Change/fix vertical grid line resolution


JazzP

Recommended Posts

In my CbB the vertical grid lines in the track view are fixed at whole measures (regardless the level of zoom), which I like because of the clean look; the smart grid is then still enabled. However, in the new Sonar the vertical grid line resolution changes with the zoom level, and has a much smaller resolution, making the screen way too cluttered to my personal taste.  It seems the only way to fixate the vertical grid line resolution is by turning of smart grid and set snap to "whole" (1/1).

Is there a way to fixate the vertical grid line resolution without turning of the smart grid, or make the secondary lines disappear so that only the vertical grid lines at the measures are left?

I see the same thing in both.  But I expect to because Smart Grid is supposed to dynamically change the grid line spacing as you zoom in and out.   It's even reflected in the snap resolution button that changes its value.   Any chance the grid line color in CbB is blending in with the clips pane color while in Sonar it's not?

You're right, its indeed in the colors in CbB. I thought I already checked for this, but apparently I was searching for the wrong entries before. The "Vertical Beat Lines" and "Vertical Measure Lines" I had changed to the same color as background.

Now waiting for the color editing in Sonar to become available again...

Try turning off smart grid, then the resolution should remain at whatever the snap resolution is set to.

I don't want to turn of smart grid, otherwise I would already have gone for that solution.

You asked how to change the way the grid can be changed, but unfortunately the solution doesn't suit you. Fine your choice

I asked if there is a way to fixate the vertical grid line resolution without turning of the smart grid 😉

But thanks for your contribution, at this point it is not possible the way I would like it.

Grid lines are there to aid in snapping to grid, so setting it to whole note is the only way.  The grid changes as you zoom in or out probably because at some point they would all converge into one big solid line if it didn't.
