Zoom the Timescale

  • On the Status bar, click either Zoom in or Zoom Out.

    The resolution controls on the status bar

  • Display the Timescale settings screen and adjust the Top Tier, Middle Tier and Bottom Tier widths. See Timescale Screen.

  • Left-click and grab a divider on the Timescale and drag it left or right to change the width of items in that tier.

To increase or decrease the magnification of the Timescale:

  • On the Status bar, click the - or + button.
