Playhead Tracking

Playhead tracking automatically scrolls the workspace to keep the playhead centered during playback.

Enabling Tracking

1. Find the Tracking toggle in the top bar
2. Click to enable (toggle becomes highlighted)
3. The workspace will now follow the playhead

How It Works

When tracking is enabled:

• The workspace scrolls horizontally as the playhead moves
• The playhead stays near the center of the view
• You can see upcoming notes before they play

When tracking is disabled:

• The workspace stays fixed
• The playhead moves across the static view
• You must manually pan to see different parts

• You're presenting or demonstrating a composition

Disable tracking when:

• You want to watch a specific section repeatedly
