I don’t think two options are enough, though, if Trancit wants to only store the zoom level without song position. Likewise, I’d probably make a snapshot for editing that zoomed in vertically, but without binding it to a specific track (would this reset the view to the top, by the way?).

Ok, I’ll add an option for each of the four settings then.

A snapshot that only changes the track height zoom will not change the top offset. If you want it to reset to the top, you could create the snapshot when it was at the top, and then enable both the track offset and track zoom options on the snapshot.

The other suggestion, I think it was made by CQSD originally, was to make another feature for vertical zoom level recall (like “track height presets” in Studio One). This way you could combine separate your self-made zoom presets for the X and Y axis. Since you can only have one active snapshot, this isn’t possible at the moment. Honestly, though, I don’t know if this would be useful or just make it more confusing.

I don’t like the idea of introducing another type of zoom preset dedicated to track offset/height. It can be handled just as well by the current snapshot feature. Btw. there is no concept of an “active” zoom snapshot. The zoom snapshot buttons will light up (appear selected) if the current zoom settings matches those stored for the snapshot. So, if a snapshot is set to only affect track height zooming, then it will light up if that matches, ignoring the status of the other three zoom settings. That way there can be multiple snapshot buttons that appear selected.

Thanks for the feedback.

Edit: It probably is a good idea to add a fifth “First snapshot in a group” option on each snapshot. This will enable you to separate the snapshots into separate groups for e.g. timeline and track zooming. Sort of like it is done with the grouping of track tags.
