Time Scale Rulers
Pyramix is equipped with many Time Scale options. Each Time Scale has an associated Time Scale Ruler and Tool
Bar which appears above the Time Scale Ruler(s).
Main TimeCode Ruler
Near the top of the Project Editing Panel is a horizontal gray area with time code numbers. This is the Main Time-
Code Ruler. On the left, above the Track headers, the Time Range, i.e. the length of the visible Timeline window is
indicated.
The simplest way to move the Playhead Cursor within the Project Editing Panel is to position the mouse any-
where along the Time Scale Ruler and left-click. The Playhead will immediately move to the new position. You
can also left-click the Playhead Cursor and drag it along the Ruler.

Fixed or Moving Playhead Cursor
These options are selected via the View pull-down menu. The Playhead Cursor can be static with the Timeline
moving (choose: Fixed Cursor while playing) or the Playhead Cursor can move while the Timeline remains
static, ‘Paging’ when the Playhead Cursor hits the screen edge. (Choose: Free Cursor while playing).
The third option is Cursor Auto-Return after playing. When this is selected with either of the other options, the
