<p>
The mini-timeline allows, as the <a href="@@summary">Summary</a>
does, navigating a session. Its main advantage, though, is that it
stays visible even when in Mixer mode.
</p>
<p>
The range of time covered by the mini-timeline is set by <kbd
class=mouse>right</kbd> clicking the timeline, and choosing a time span
from 30 seconds up to 20 minutes.
</p>
<p>
The mini-timeline shows all markers (<em>start</em>, <em>end</em> and
any user defined ones). Clicking a marker jumps to that point on the
timeline, allowing for quick access to key timings in the session.
The next and previous markers out of the mini-timeline range are
indicated by arrows, as the <em>end</em> marker in the screenshot
above.
</p>
<p>
<a href="@@mixing-linear-nonlinear-workflows">Cue markers</a> are
also displayed, with their play time duration shown by a line.
</p>
<p>
While hovering with the mouse over the mini-timeline:
</p>
<ul>
<li><kbd class="mouse">left</kbd> clicking moves the playhead to the time under the mouse cursor</li>
<li>using the <kbd class="mouse">scroll wheel</kbd> scrolls the playhead back and forth inside the session</li>
<li>using <kbd class="mod1"></kbd><kbd class="mouse">scroll wheel</kbd> scrolls more finely inside the session</li>
<li>using <kbd class="mod1"></kbd><kbd class="mod2"></kbd><kbd class="mouse">scroll wheel</kbd> scrolls even more finely inside the session</li>
</ul>
