[Rwp] How to Select Exactly One Measure?

[Scott Chesworth]

Hi Matej,

Yep, the forum was right, the correct value is 2.1.00. The reason it
doesn't seem to be perfect is that ReaAccess is slightly inaccurate
reporting percentages. This was one of the things on the list to fix
before the developer disappeared, and hopefully OSARA will report
timeline position with better accuracy. Also, a few thoughts that
might help you to become more efficient. The jump dialogue is pretty
smart, so as long as you've specified info in a format it recognizes,
it'll fill in the rest of the info for you. So in this instance, if
you're aiming for the start of a bar, you can save a few keystrokes by
just typing 2.1, and the remaining .00 is assumed. You might also find
it handy to know that Page Up/Page Down will skip back or forward
precisely one bar respectively, and CTRL+Page Up/CTRL+Page down moves
by individual beats within that bar. For selecting small section with
nice rounded start/end times like this, sometimes it's easier/quicker
not to have to bother using the number row..
