does move 'now' by snap value exist?
If it doesn't can this be considered as a product suggestion?
I would like to assign a keystroke that moves the now time by the amount of the current autogrid increment.
If I am zoomed in then it would move in smaller amounts.
I have only found move by measure and frequently that is too coarse.
There would be two operators
move now forward by snap value
move now backward by snap value
If I had them I would assign them to my ShuttlePro V2 Jog right/left functions.
and it would be sweet!
the last time I looked at the 'suggest a feature' area of Cakewalk support was not-functional so a forum thread is the next best thing.
thanks ddt

+2 for that feature.
Count me in on that enhancement. I just spent the past hour looking for a way to move the 'now position' by a finer increment than one full measure (ctrl+page-up/page-down).
The TAB and SHIFT+TAB shortcut keys can be used for a midi track and will move forward and backward respectively one note (or sequencer event) at a time. But for audio tracks, the 'now posistion' can only be incremented one full measure forward / backward using the CTRL+PAGE-UP / PAGE-DOWN shortcut keys.

Here are a couple of CAL scripts to move Now by 30 ticks. Copy each script to a file and bind the CAL scripts as desired.
To move Now forward is a one line script:
(+= Now 30)
To move Now backward:
(do
(int offset 30)
(if (< Now offset)
(= Now 0)
(-= Now offset)
)
)

I often want to go forward or back by 1 beat instead of a whole bar, so yes this would be a good feature. Try posting your suggestion in the new Features & Ideas Forum and see if it picks up a few votes.

OK here are scripts to move one beat at a time
Next beat is a one liner:
(= Now (makeTime (meas Now) (+ 1 (beat Now)) 0))
Previous beat is a little longer:
(do
(dword m (meas Now))
(dword b (beat Now))
(if (&& (== m 1) (== b 1))
(= Now 0)
(do
(= Now (- (makeTime m b 0) 1))
(= Now (makeTime (meas Now) (beat Now) 0))
)
)
)

Hey scook, That is absolutely awesome! It took me a while to figure out the extra steps to apply the CAL script because I was not familiar with that concept. Extra steps are: 1- Place your custom CAL script(s) in the correct folder. You can find the default folder location under EDIT + PREFERENCES + FILE + FOLDER LOCATIONS  2. Bind the CAL file to a "key stroke" with EDIT + PREFERENCES + CUSTOMIZATION + KEYBOARD SHORTCUTS. In the example below, I mapped the keyboard short cut "A" to the new custom CAL script called ZZFORWARD.CAL.  It works GREAT! Thanks so much for taking time to post your solution.

Glad to help. To bad CAL is not aware of snap settings but it does know about Now, ticks, beats, measures and ticks per quarter note values.

I never knew you could bind a script file to a keystroke. Hmmmm. Thinking.......
