This topic was talked about in this thread: viewtopic.php?t=41278
However, I don't think it was posted here in the suggestions section, so I am posting about this topic here.
I would like it to be possible to click in the arrange window to move the playhead to that position. It wouldn't be suitable for this function to be available by clicking without pressing any modifier keys, so I suggest making this function available by using command-click. Currently command-click is used for the secondary tool, so that would have to be converted to something else, maybe command-shift-click.
This improvement would make my workflow so much easier. Currently, when I am doing a lot of editing with the cursor in the arrange window, I have to move the cursor all the way up to the bar ruler, which is not very big, in order to click to move the playhead. This is really annoying.
I understand that there are other ways of moving the playhead, including:
- Click and drag the playhead itself.
- Rewind or move forward by division, bar or 8 bars.
- Go to selection start or end.
- Go to last locate position.
- Play from left window edge.
- Make a marquee selection, then go to marquee start.
- Go to left or right locator.
- Scrub rewind or forward.
- Go to position.
- Go to previous or next marker.
- Go to marker number
These tools are great and I use them a lot. However, none of them would satisfy me as much as a "Click in arrange window to move playhead" function.
Of all the things I would like to be improved about Logic Pro, this is top of my list.
P.S. I posted this suggestion to Apple's Logic Pro feedback page.
