The locator
Another vertical bar represents the position locator. It moves along as the
song plays. In contrast to the split point indicator it has no triangles at the ends.
The time bar
displays the current position within the song relative to the whole song.
The entire length of the time bar represents the song length. The length of the
solid part of the time bar represents the position and length of the displayed part
of the song.
The scale mode
On the right side of the bottom line the scale mode is displayed. The
waveform can be scaled either logarithmically or linearly. In logarithmic scale
mode the letters “dB” are displayed, in linear mode “%”. Use
