Position vertical and timeline rulers
In the Editor panel, vertical rulers indicate amplitude in the waveform display and frequency in the spectral display.
Timeline rulers indicate time location. If necessary, you can reposition both types of rulers to better evaluate audio
content.
• To display vertical rulers on either side of the Editor panel, choose View > Vertical Ruler, and then choose Left or
Right.
• To add a second timeline ruler at the bottom of the Editor panel, choose View > Bottom Timeline Ruler.
If you show timeline rulers at top and bottom, each can display a different unit of time. (See "Change units in the
timeline ruler or time display" on page 29.)
