What is “Snap” and “Grid”?

- +

“Snap” will cause drags and other mouse-driven operations to jump to positions determined by the nearest snap setting. Snap can be set to -multiple options: markers, region start/ends, and the grid. ( those -are all enabled by default. change them in prefs ) - +multiple options: markers, region start/ends, and the grid (those +are all enabled by default. change them in prefs). +

+

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 +(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 tempo. - +

+

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

A Warning, of sorts

+ +

+The grid consist of lines running vertically in the edit canvas. If +you zoom too far out, you might see a coarser grid than you +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. +
