“Snap” will cause drags and other mouse-driven operations to jump to
positions determined by the nearest snap setting. Snap can be set to

Grid can be enabled, and it will draw lines at selected intervals;
which can be musical, like 16th notes, or can be timecode based
-(minutes and seconds) . You can leave the Grid enabled, but snap

disabled, if you just want to see the lines but not snap to them.

For example: if the Grid is set to “beats” and Snap-to-grid is
enabled, then any operations such as split, paste, or range-select
will happen exactly on a beat, according to the musical timeline and

Alternatively, you can leave “Snap” enabled (so your mouse actions
can snap to Markers, or region edges) but disable the Grid.

+The grid consist of lines running vertically in the edit canvas. If

+expect. Ardour tries not to show “too many” or “too few” grid lines
+depending on the zoom level. You might find that items snap in-between
+the grid lines sometimes. That’s expected behavior. If you can’t see
+or snap to the grid you’d like to use, you may have to zoom in or out.
