Ruler Modes
By default, the ruler follows the primary time format, that is, the display format that you set up in the Project Setup dialog or on the Transport. The ruler modes, however, allow you to set up a display format for the ruler that differs from the display format in the main time display.

- Bars+Beats Linear
