Navigational Tools palette
How to get there
Choose Window > Navigational
Tools Palette.
What it does
This palette contains the Hand Grabber
Tool and Zoom Tool.
- [Close
box]. Click this small button at the upper-right corner of the
palette to close the palette. Once it’s hidden, you make the palette reappear
by choosing Advanced Tool Palette from the Window menu.
- [Title
bar]. Drag the strip across the top (or left) edge of the palette
to move the entire palette to a new screen location.
- [Sizable
frame]. Click on the very edge of the palette and drag the sizable
frame to reshape the entire palette. As you drag, the palette snaps into
new configurations: tall and thin, short and stout, square, and so on.
If your monitor is wider than it is tall, for example, you might consider
rotating the palette so that it’s a short horizontal strip. If you drag the resize box inward toward the
upper-left corner, you hide tools. Drag the resize box outward again to
bring them back into view.

music as it’s displayed on the screen.
