Smooth Scrolling Now Time during playback

This is when the screen follows the Now Time smoothly through the project instead of the screen jumping ahead one screenshot at a time like we have now. Also options to have it automatically center for smoothscrolling upon playback or the alternate option of scrolling not activated until the Now Time reaches the center of whatever you are looking at (this for when your Now Time is off screen and you don't want it to center until it reaches what you are looking at).
 
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.
 
Pwetty pweeze. I'll be your friend. :-p

Thanks, Susan. My old DAW had this and it's one of the very few things I miss since I moved to Sonar. It makes editing and other general tasks sooooo much easier.
 
Cheers.

Are there more scrolling controls besides on click behaviour. I've suddenly lost the ability to rewind to the beginning of the project. It goes to the beginning but my current screen stays where it is. 

+1 voted!

I agree right now it's a PITA. Those who like the old method could set it in preferences.

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.

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

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

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.
 

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

I believe the feature request is already on file http://forum.cakewalk.com/FindPost/3153217
Vote for it there.

Sounds like keyboard Scroll Lock is on.
 
The page breaks have always REALLY BUGGED ME. Big +1 for this FR!
