[Solved] How to lock snap to grid to measure?

Every time I zoom in or out, it changes the musical time stamp setting, and I would like to lock it to measure and keep it there.  Is there a way to do this?  Thanks in advance for your time and help.

All the best,
Lynn

    Yes. Turn off Smart Grid and you can lock whatever snap you want. You can also use a keyboard shortcut to choose between two different snap values. Finally note that snap for MIDI PRV and audio are independent.
     
    This entry in my Friday Tip of the Week thread has lots of info about snap.

    The first 3 books in "The Musician's Guide to Home Recording" series are available from Hal Leonard and http://www.reverb.com. Listen to my music on http://www.YouTube.com/thecraiganderton, and visit http://www.craiganderton.com. Thanks!

    Thank you both, Steve and Craig.  I had forgotten to right click and turn smart grid off because I hadn't needed to do that in a long time.  It wasn't until I started doing a project in 5/4 time that I needed this feature.  I should remember after this. lol

    All the best,
