I've noticed this a long time ago; the play marker doesn't snap to the grid lines on the playlist perfectly.

It appears to be perfect but when you zoom in, you can see that the play marker and grid lines are off! IT BUGS ME OUT!

This same behavior carries over to clip fades when fading in/out clips from the edges... they snap to something but it's not the grid!

I just want SONAR to take care of all these little annoying nuances once and for all! It's almost 2017 and they're still there!!!

There's a "feel" - it's smooth, clean - when you work in other DAWs... and that's just from doing simple things!

I still love you, SONAR and it's creators but C'mon!

Rant over.

Go Edit > Preferences > Customization > Snap to Grid. If "Snap to Nearest Zero Audio Crossings" is checked, uncheck it and see if the problem still persists.

Following up...did that fix the problem?

I would say so, yes. The clip-fading snap-to-grid bit isn't as tight as the general 'snapping' but so far so good.

Thanks for the assistance.

Methinks the OP will be eating either crow or his hat for breakfast. 

you have the toggle in the Control Bar set to 'to' and not 'by' right ?

To/By only affects drag-copy/move. 'By' isn't applicable to snapping the Now time.

Fair enough.
