The mini-timeline allows, as the Summary, to navigate a session. It's main advantage though is that it stays visible even in Mixer mode.

The range of time covered by the mini-timeline is set by Right clicking the timeline, and chossing from 30 seconds up to 20 minutes.

The mini-timeline also shows all the markers (both start/end and user set ones). Clicking a marker jumps to that point on the timeline, allowing for quick access to key timings in the session.

While hovering with the mouse over the mini-timeline,

• left clicking jumps the playhead to the time under the mouse cursor
• using the scroll wheel scrolls the playhead inside the session
• using the  scroll wheel scrolls more finely inside the session
• using the   scroll wheel scrolls even more finely inside the session.
