How do you change Vertical Grid Lines resolution?

try view/show vertical lines

Well, after re reading and checking some things even that doesn't give me a snap to. Now I'm confused too.

The time signature adjusts the lines. As you change the time signature the lines adjust.

Middleman-
thanks, but when I try to change the time sig it doesn't reflect in the vertical lines. How would I set the overall project time signature?

Ok got it... yeah, I basically just want some vertical lines as a visual guide that are always on (unless I choose to turn them off) which follows the specified grid spacing (1/16th etc.) 

The lack of this is really annoying when trying to tighten up timing on audio takes. It's a catch 22: Let's say you have a drum track with a snare hit that was out of time. You want to move it so that the hit lines up with a point on the grid, which you can currently see as a vertical line because snap is on. But you have to turn snap off to move the audio to that point, at which time the vertical line disappears. 

This could all be solved by having some sort of tick mark like "grid lines persist when snap is off".  I am surprised more people aren't complaining about this, isn't that a really standard functionality for a DAW? Or am I doing it wrong? I know AudioSnap is made for this, but from what I've seen of it, it doesn't really work as advertised and besides, I prefer doing it by hand so I have more fine grained control over each note's timing.

Try putting a marker there?

I'm also angry at this..I pride myself at hand quantizing audio and midi like a mad man lol ..and it's impossible without precise vertical guidelines smaller than a full measure!! I have another complaint about layers but I'll save that for another thread

Yep, set up markers to your desired resolution and drag away.

Wow I thought I was missing something, but apparently I'm not. No offense to people offering weak workarounds, but for crying out loud I have this functionality in my VIDEO EDITING SOFTWARE, why the hell are vertical grid lines spaced on notes not in AUDIO editing software?! This is ridiculous.

I, like a few others have stated, am trying to line up some audio by transients. Using a whole measure to eyeball an entire 10 minute audio clip is absolutely silly. I'm trying my best not to cuss here, but really this is pissing me off. There's no good reason to NOT have vertical grid lines with resolution defined by a selected note value (i.e resolution grid lines of half note, or quarter note, etc., just like in the piano roll view.)

I'm frustrated as hell by the absence of this basic functionality, among a large number of other things with this software. It just boggles my mind that this isn't in the product.

Hmmmm... changing the time signature to 16/16 in the transport view did the trick. It made grid lines on 16th notes. I like!~
 
Ok it is stopping that resolution fro grid lines at measure 17.
 
WE should just be able to change the grid line resolution without changing time signature. I will continue to research.
 
 

Hmmm.... I still want the grid lines to be able to follow my snap settings that I select, not dependent on zoom level. That is a better workflow for me... well maybe zoom technique will take over. The bakers are slick. I will try to implement zoom to change grid lines and snap grid via Smart Grid being on and it just might change my life! lol
