At some stage of the production, a quick overview over as many tracks as
possible may be required, or a detailed view into just a
few, or a combination of the two. To facilitate this, the

A <kbd class="mouse">right</kbd> click on a track header will display the
<kbd class="menu">Height</kbd> menu, and allow to choose from a list of
standard sizes. All selected tracks will be redrawn using that height.

The three rightmost items of the <a href="@@zoom-controls">Zoom Controls</a>,
in the toolbar, allow to quickly resize multiple tracks' heights at once, or to
display a selected number of tracks in the editor, or all the selected ones, etc.

<h2>Fitting to the Editor Window</h2>
<p>
Fitting one or many tracks to the Editor window can be done by selecting the tracks to
display and choosing <kbd class="menu">Track &gt; Height &gt; Fit Selection (Vertical)</kbd>
or using the keyboard shortcut, <kbd>f</kbd>. Ardour adjusts the track
heights and view so that the selected tracks completely fill the vertical
space available, unless the tracks cannot be fitted even at the smallest
2014-02-05 12:32:01 -05:00
possible size.

used to revert this operation.
