About the beat ruler
The beat ruler shows beats and measures, the units of musical time. You can use the beat ruler to place the playhead at a specific point in the timeline, and to align regions and other items in the timeline. The units shown in the beat ruler reflect the value set in the timeline grid.
Using the timeline grid, you can precisely move items in the timeline and the editor to align with beats and measures in the beat ruler, and with other note values. To learn about the timeline grid, see Related Topics below.
For information about beats and measures, see the Glossary.
