When you play a composition,
3
<span class="application">Rosegarden</span> sweeps a playback pointer across
4
the tracks from left to right playing the contents of the
5
segments as it crosses them. The pointer's position on the
6
screen is tracked and controlled by a window called the
8
</p><div class="sect1" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a name="transport-overview"></a>Overview</h2></div></div></div><p>

11
If the Transport isn't visible, you can activate it with <span xmlns:doc="http://nwalsh.com/xsl/documentation/1.0" class="guiitem"><span class="guimenu">Settings</span></span>-><span xmlns:doc="http://nwalsh.com/xsl/documentation/1.0" class="guiitem"><span class="guimenuitem">Show Transport</span></span>.
12
</p><p>The Transport shows the time reached by the playback
13
pointer, in seconds by default.</p><p>You can switch it to show
14
musical time (bar and beat counts), musical time with a flashing
15
visual metronome, or audio sample frame times, using the topmost
16
of the small buttons <span class="inlinemediaobject"><img src="rg-button-bar-time.png"></span> on the left of the transport window.</p><p>The
17
button immediately below that <span class="inlinemediaobject"><img src="rg-button-from-end.png"></span> toggles the display so as to show
18
time remaining to the end of the composition instead of from the
20
The main controls on the transport start the sequencer playing
21
and pause it, fast forward the pointer position, rewind it, stop
22
it or jump to beginning or end of composition.
24
The transport display also shows the tempo and time signature in
25
effect at the current playback position. Double-click on either
26
of these to insert a new tempo or time signature change. See
27
<a href="segment-view-tempo-timesig.html" title="Tempo and Time Signature">Tempo and Time
28
Signature</a> for more ways to adjust these elsewhere in Rosegarden.
30
You can also double-click anywhere on the main time display on
31
the transport window, to enter a precise time that you want the
32
playback position to be set to.
33
</p><p>Additional controls and a <span class="acronym">MIDI</span> event display are hidden on
34
the bottom flap on the transport, which can be toggled on or off
35
using the arrow button next to it at the left. Also on this extra
36
portion there are buttons for recording, setting the loop start
37
and end (see <a href="markers-ranges-loops.html#ranges-loops" title="Ranges and loops">Ranges and loops</a>),
38
soloing individual tracks, turning on or off the metronome (see
39
<a href="studio-metronome.html" title="Metronomes">Metronomes</a>), and silencing
40
your MIDI devices (the panic button). </p></div></div><div style="background-color: #white; color: black; margin-top: 20px; margin-left: 20px; margin-right: 20px;"><div style="position: absolute; left: 20px;"><a accesskey="p" href="triggered-segments.html">Prev</a></div><div style="position: absolute; right: 20px;"><a accesskey="n" href="recording.html">Next</a></div><div align="center"><a accesskey="h" href="index.html">Home</a></div></div><div style="background-color: #white; color: black; margin-left: 20px; margin-right: 20px;"><div class="navLeft">Triggered segments�</div><div class="navRight">�Recording</div><div class="navCenter"><a accesskey="u" href="index.html">Up</a></div></div><br><br><div class="bannerBottom" style="background-image: url(bottom-middle.png); background-repeat: x-repeat; width: 100%; height: 100px; bottom:0px;"><div class="BannerBottomRight"><img src="bottom-right.png" style="margin: 0px" alt=""></div><div class="bannerBottomLeft"><img src="bottom-left.png" style="margin: 0px;" alt=""></div><div id="comments" style="position:relative; top: 5px; left: 1em; height:85px; width: 50%; color: #cfe1f6"><p>Would you like to make a comment or contribute an update to this page?<br>
