+title: Selection and Punch Clocks
+---
+
+<img src="/images/selectionpunchclocks.png" alt="An image of the the selection and punch clocks in Ardour" />
+
+<p>
+  The transport bar contains a set of 5 clocks that show the current
+  <dfn>selection range</dfn> and <dfn>punch ranges</dfn>.
+</p>
+<p>
+  Clicking on the punch range clocks will locate to either the beginning or end of the punch range.
+  Similarly, clicking on the range clocks will locate to either the beginning
+  or end of the current selection. In this screen shot there is no current
+  selection range, so the selection clocks show an "off" state.
+</p>
+<p>
+  The <kbd class="menu">In</kbd> and <kbd class="menu">Out</kbd> buttons relate
+  to the Punch range, and allow to use only one of the two punch boundaries, or both:
+</p>
+<dl>
+  <dt>In only</dt><dd>Records from the In marker on, without a end boundary</dd>
+  <dt>Out only</dt><dd>Records untils the Out marker, without a beginning boundary</dd>
+  <dt>In only</dt><dd>Records only between the In and Out markers</dd>
+</dl>
+<p>
+  <kbd class="mouse">Right</kbd> clicking on any of the 5 clocks brings up a context menu
+  allowing to change the type of time display between the <a href="/introducing-ardour/basic-gui-operations/editing-clocks/">
+  4 clock modes</a>, and to copy the selected clock's time to the clipboard.
