The Large Transport toolbar differs from the Transport toolbar because it displays the Now time (which
you can set by entering numbers into the display fields in either MBT or SMPTE time) and the Meter/
Key Signature display. The Meter/Key Signature display shows the current meter, key signature, and
tempo. You can edit the meter and key signature by clicking the display to open the Meter/Key
Signature dialog box. You can display the Large Transport toolbar by selecting the View-Toolbars
command to open the Toolbars dialog box, and checking Transport (Large).
When playback or recording is stopped, the Now Time either remains at the point where the project
stopped or snaps back to the Now Time Marker. This behavior is controlled in the General tab of the
Global Options dialog.

The Now Time Marker

In the Track view, the Now time appears as a black vertical line. When you set the Now time in the
Track view a green triangle called the Now time marker appears in the Time Ruler. This marker
represents the point at which the Now time will snap back to after you stop playback or recording. You
can change the Now time marker behavior so that the marker moves to the current Now time when
playback or recording is stopped (use the Options-Global command; on the General tab uncheck On
Stop, Rewind to Now Marker).
