The ruler approach did the trick. Thank God for the collective brain of this forum... a person could spend a hundred years discovering all the tricks hiding in the nooks and crannies of this Pro Tools labyrinth.

That's a really good question, and makes me realize I was doing the whole ML timeline selection a bit wrong. I've always made that selection in the playhead lane which would—obvious to me, now— select all tracks. If I set that selection in the individual track, I get only that track selection highlighted, which could be useful. So I learned two things here: (1) how to control highlighting on ML selections, and (2) that no matter how many years I've been immersed in PT, there will always be events that will humble me back down to "newbie" status.

You guys are the best. Thanks!
