How do I change the CW grid resolution on the time bar to show eighth notes without changing the meter?

Locate the Snap to Grid module on the control bar.

... then choose the desired resolution.

FWIW it will change visually as you zoom in and out of the window but snap value won't.

It's actually not possible to get a zoom level that shows 8ths in the timeline;  the markers jump straight from quarters to 16ths at a certain point.

Here's how to get timeline markers at any fixed interval at all zoom levels.

- Set the Edit Filter in an audio track (can be empty) to Transients.

- Right-click in the Clips Pane and choose Pool > Add MBT to Pool.

- You'll get pool markers in the timeline at the specified snap resolution that will persist at all zoom levels (assuming you disable the Smart Grid snap option.

- You don't need to keep the audio track that you used to get access to the Transient tool.
