When typing in a full position using the Bar display, for example, you should type in the
following manner:

• 3 Space 3 Space 2 Space 2, Return key to exit text entry mode.

• 3.3.2.2, Return key to exit text entry mode.

If you simply type in 3322, followed by the Return key, the playhead moves to bar 3322,
rather than bar 3, beat 3, division 2, tick 2. This allows you to quickly navigate to the
beginning of a bar by inputting the first digit.
