With you on this, Julian. Snooks - I think this is more a case of deciding what is "zooM" and what is "scroll".
Automatically locating to the same section of a project aint going to work if you want to move, so some form of combination zoom/scroll is pretty much a given. Julian`s 1/2/3 bars is very much a step in the right direction, of course.
From dim hazy recollections, I seem to remember that BPP did this by intelligently scrolling either forward or backward to the nearest MIDI data on the selected track, but unfortunately with the "MIDI items" concept used by Reaper, that isn`t really a viable option. There again neither is a "go to" which pretty much limits how an intelligent scroll can work.
I hope I am not muddying the wates here, as I too think a clear unabiguous statement of the problem(s) and sensible suggestions as to how it might be fixed are more likely to get the devs attention.

Reason: My fault - mis-typed zoom and meant scroll
