Short term, can the Navigator view do what you want?

 
No, I don't thinks so. The feature available in Sonar that is closest to the one requested above is "Center View on Now Time," which can be found in Edit > Preferences > Customization > Keyboard Shortcuts.
Of course, you have to keep holding down the key if you want the Now time marker to stay in the center.

Voted ... I'm probably restating, but the ability to have Now Time stay put while the track lanes scroll behind it smoothly is what I would like most in this.  Regardless of where I have placed the Now Time marker to start.

Yikes, I submitted something similar without realizing this was already out and about. Can't hurt to vote twice for the same thing

Currently, when a track is too long to be displayed, Sonar only begins to scroll when it reaches quite near the end of the display. I would like to set the scroll to begin in the middle of the screen. I know that it is possible to zoom out but that is not what I need. I want to see more of what has gone and at the same time see what is to come.

A similar request was posted in January. You might want to support it.

Merged. Thanks for finding the original request. I though this thread was in F&I but did not find it when I looked a few hours ago.

Voted. I like this point posted from the OP:
"I would also like options to position the scrolling focal point to other areas than the center like to the left or right of the screen so you can see more of what has just been played or what is coming up."
 
This would be very handy.
A keyboard shortcut perhaps to "Rewind or FF" the Now Time to the edge of the monitor screen.
 

A "semi-workaround" for this is to key bind "Center View on Now Time" and ride it like Seattle Slew, but is a bit tedious if zoomed in far enough. It would be nice to have this "just happen" if chosen.

This is an old request of mine so yes I'm for it! I voted too 5 stars!
