Grid mode provides several useful capabilities for sliding and moving clips on tracks. This mode is especially useful for lining up clips at precise intervals, as when working with a project that is bar- and beat-based. Grid boundaries, depending on the Main Time Scale, can be based on frames, bar and beat values, minutes or seconds, or a number of samples.

Grid mode also provides two operational modes, Absolute and Relative. These modes control how the Grid is applied (see “Absolute and Relative Grid Mode” on page 506).
