The steps I've tried are as follows:

1) Open Timeline: Time Cursor at 00:00:00:00 as expected
2) Start playing the Timeline and then a while later press pause.
3) Click in the TimeRuler to jump to new time.
4) Click at the very most left side in the TimeRuler - Time at 00:00:01:10
5) Zoom right into the TimeLine so I can click in the TimeRuler to get nearer to 00:00:00:00 and the TimeCursor jumps to 00:00:02:27
6) Enter 00:00:00:00 Time and press enter - Time displayed is 00:00:00:00 but then jumps to 00:00:01:09
7) Further clicking in the TimeRuler on the left hand side at the same Zoomed In state does not move the TimeCursor any nearer to 00:00:00:00

It seems such a trivial issue but almost drove me mad trying to get it to work.

Any tips to solve this would be most welcome
Attached is an archive containing the TimeLine.

Thanks, Andrew

In most Timelines, you can rewind to the beginning using

Cmd (or Ctrl) + LeftArrow

or by typing 00:00:00:00:00 in the timecode field to the left of the time ruler.

But you're right, the timeline you've attached refuses to go back to time zero. It seems to be due to the fact that it runs out of real time right at the beginning of the Timeline when it is fetching the initial buffers from all those disk players and doing 9 spectral analyses in parallel. When I changed the DiskPlayers to Samples, it did the rewind to zero normally. Any chance you could use Samples instead of DiskPlayers?

Another workaround for now would be to select all the timebars and shift their start times to 02:00. This should enable you to rewind to a point prior to the start of the DiskPlayers.

in my frustrated state it didn't occur to me to shift all the disk players to the right hand side - I'll try and keep cool and collected if something like that happens again
