SONAR provides many ways to set the Now time. Here are just a few:
To Change the Now Time
• Click the desired time on the Time Ruler in the Track view, Piano Roll view, or
Staff view
• In the Navigator pane, click anywhere in the view while holding down the Ctrl
key to change the Now Time to that location
• Click on the Now time in the Large Transport toolbar, enter the desired time,
and press Enter
• Choose Go-Time or press F5, enter the desired time, and click OK
• Click on an event in the Event List view
You can also set the Now time by right-clicking in the Clips pane if you enable the
Right Click Sets Now option in the Track View Properties dialog. Right-click a clip
and select View Options from the menu that appears to open the Track View
Properties dialog.
When entering a time in MBT format, the beat and tick values are optional. You
can use a colon, space, decimal point, or vertical bar to separate the parts of the
Now time:
