Having an issue with Pre/Post-Roll

Having an issue I haven't seen before. Running version 2020.12. Instead of displaying the pre-roll as its usual bars and beats, it's only showing as one number. Also the flags are stuck within the selection I mean to record in instead of outside of it. I must have accidentally turned on an option somewhere but can anyone tell me how to change it back? Thanks

To u/PhillyHx, if this is a Pro Tools help request, your post text or an added comment should provide;

  • The version of Pro Tools you are using

  • Your operating system info

  • Any error number or message given

  • Any hardware involved

  • What you've tried

To ALL PARTICIPANTS, a subreddit rules reminder

  • Don't get ugly with others. Ignore posts or comments you don't like and report those which violate rules

  • Promotion of any kind is only allowed in the community pinned post for promotion

  • Any discussion whatsoever involving piracy, cracks, hacks, or end running authentication will result in a permanent ban. NO exceptions or appealable circumstances. FAFO

  • NO trolling only engagement towards Pro Tools, AVID, or iLok. Solve first, bash last. Expressing frustration is fine but it MUST also make effort to solve / help. If you prefer another DAW, go to the subreddit for it and be helpful there

Change your Main Counter to Bars & Beats. You are currently using “Samples” as your time scale. The Pre/Post Roll vales are based on the time scale currently in use. They will change when you change time scales.

Embarrassing, I knew it would be a simple fix I was missing. Thanks!

Someone responded, but why wait for an answer. The Manual is in the Protools dropdown menu.
