The Zoomer tool provides two modes:

The previously selected Edit tool is automatically reselected after zooming.

Press the F5 key to select the Zoomer tool and toggle between Normal and Single Zoom modes.

Normal Zoom Mode

To zoom around a certain point in the score:

1 Click the Zoomer tool pop-up menu and select Normal Zoom mode.

2 Click once with the Zoomer tool at a location within the score. The score is zoomed in by one level and is centered around the zoomed location.

3 To zoom back to the previous level, Alt-click (Windows) or Option-click (Mac) with the Zoomer tool.

To marquee zoom to a particular area of the score:

1 Click the Zoomer tool pop-up menu and select Normal Zoom mode.

2 Drag in the score, making a marquee selection of the area to which you want to zoom.

The zoomed area fills the entire Edit window.

Single Zoom Mode

Single Zoom mode returns you to the previously selected tool after a zoom has been performed.

For example, when using the Pencil tool you can select the Single Zoomer tool, and once the Zoom operation has been performed, Pro Tools automatically switches back to the Pencil tool.

Single Zoom is identified with an arrow to the right of the Zoomer icon. (Normal Zoom mode does not show the arrow.)

To use Single Zoom mode:

Click the Zoomer tool pop-up menu and select Single Zoom mode.
