how much work do you think it is to redraw a 16 pixel wide vertical

do you want to waste those cycles?
oh, and at the last AES convention, the Fairlight booth was more or less
deserted despite being filled with some very cool looking gear.

But during recording Ardour is not very useful for this, because the
waveform is only displayed in chunks of one second or something, and it
wraps around every time the play head reaches the right edge of the
window.
So, the playhead/recordhead stays fixed at the screen, the waveform
moves continuously pixel-by-pixel, and new waveform pixels appear
immediately. Fairlight and many other professional software works
the same way: the playhead stays fixed at the screen.
Perhaps Ardour should have such a waveform mode.
