[ardour-users] Basic editing for a newbie

[Taybin Rutkin]

The edit head can be scrolled off the screen.  Just hit the 'e' key to make it appear under the mouse.

2) That's an experimental feature which you can enable by editing the code.  Probably an #ifdef somewhere.

3) That's an older screenshot.  The faders were updated to with the new appearance.
