Just wondering. Haven't looked at it for awhile. The Ardour site doesn't
say.

Someday!

You can make it work on 1024x600. Would you like to? :)

That's too bad.

No, I've made a couple of stabs at trying to do basic things in Ardour.
If not a degree in sound engineering, it at least assumes you know your
way around a professional multitrack mixer, outboard effects processors,
etc.
And has me mystified. Unfortunately, I had to get the processing done,
so went back to Audacity. I know, doesn't help me learn to use Ardour.

Yup, would've been Ardour 2.

I never tried the environment variable, so here is a blunt sequence of

1. Open Edit/Preferences/GUI and change font size scale from 100% to at
least 80% (I used to use 75% on an older netbook).
2. Right-click on the secondary clock, choose Off to disable it and thus
shrink the windows horizontally.
3. Press Shift+E to disable mixer strip in the sidebar (alternatively,
since v3.3 or so you can choose what elements are present in the mixer
strip, use Edit/Preferences dialog for that).
4. Right-click on the timeline above labels of each line and disable the
ones you don't really need.
5. Additionally you can close the bottom navigation bar (via View menu),
but that is up to you.
If you really have a lot of tracks and for some reasons you are using a
tiny display, you might find saving and restoring views rather helpful.

Thanks Alexandre! I was
indeed referring to the environment variable
(which after much googling I still have not figured out) but your list
will make a handy cheat sheet for my netbook. Thanks! :) Also been
playing around with this:

There is. http://ardour.org/news/3.5.older.html has a note.
Set the environment variable ARDOUR_LOVES_STUPID_TINY_SCREENS
and it will start and show various things even on netbook/tablet-sized
screens with a height < 700px.
OT this morning on #ardour:
5120 x 1440 is a lot of pixels. Just so you're
all aware.
With Ardour, I think I could still use one more 2560x1440 monitor.
But this is... approaching adequate.
:)

Thanks, Simon and Robin! I have a friend who loves netbooks and thinks
1280x600 is just fine... My new laptop is 1920x1080, so I don't think I
need to worry about setting the perfectly-named environment variable!
