Cursor in view (Piano, Event, Staff)

[vraag-reaper]

If I want to look up something first in Piano or Staff, I end up in a very different place in the event list. How can I synchronize that? So measure 30 in Piano, also in Event list immediately visible as an example.

Just tried this & you will find that all views will centre on the position of your cursor.

So if you are looking at bar 99 and your cursor is on bar 27, when you switch views reaper takes you to bar 27, the same CURSOR position in the new view, rather than where you want to be at bar 99.

The difficulty with implementing what you are suggesting is that Reaper would have to guess at where you want to be looking, rather than where you have the cursor.

So long as you are in the habit of using the play cursor to locate your required view, you already have what you are requesting. Hope that helps.

I often use Ctrl Alt E (CAE)for views Piano, Staff, Event-list.
Your example Cursor is on bar 27 Via CAE I end up in bar 1.
If I do Cntrl-J (go to) then the view changes to bar 27 Event-list.
After Alt-1, Alt 2 Piano view still on bar 1.
Alt-3 bar 27, Alt 4 bar 27
How can I synchronize that?

Confirmed. Works fine the way I do it but your method definitely introduces issues.

Might want to enter this as a bug report in the appropriate forum section?
