View playback cursor position when not in playback mode?
How can I view the playback cursor position when playback is not taking place?
Sorry if this is obvious - I'm new to MS and despite searching the handbook / online help haven't found an answer.
Right now I can only work out where the cursor is by restarting playback, by which time it may have gone past the bar I want to listen to.
Thank you.

Press the > or < key and the cursor will play one note forward (or backward), enabling you to see where it is.

That will show where the last playback started. If the playback lasted more than a measure the highlighted note will not be in the same measure as the last one played.

You are quite correct about that. I just assumed that the previous playback start point was what the OP was looking for. Perhaps he can clarify this?

Yes, I am looking for the last one played, not the initial starting position.
From the responses so far, I'm guessing that's not available?
If so, I think it would be worth stating this explicitly in the handbook, to avoid confusion when moving from notation programs such as Sibelius where the playback cursor *is* displayed even when not playing. Even better would be an option to display it!
