Project Settings Menu
This menu provides access to all of the settings related
to the current project, including timecode (a sub-
menu). Settings are listed with their name on the left
side and current value on the right. A setting with its
name in italics is disabled and cannot be selected or
changed. This may be due to a dependency on another
setting (e.g. Timecode Settings cannot be entered
unless timecode is enabled), or system states (most
settings cannot be changed while the transport is mov-
ing). As another example, since this project already
has les you cannot change the sample rate.
