+<p>
+  The <dfn>Transport Bar</dfn> at the top of the window is made of :
+</p>
+
+<ul>
+  <li><a href="/controlling-playback/using-the-transport-bar/">the Transport Controls</a></li>
+  <li><a href="/ardours-interface/using-ardour-clock-displays/">the Clocks</a></li>
+  <li>3 status indicators:
+    <ul>
+      <li><dfn>Solo</dfn>: Blinks when 1 or more track(s) are being
+      soloed, see <a href="/mixing/muting-and-soloing/">Muting and
+         Soloing</a>. Clicking this button disables any active explicit and implicit solo on all tracks and busses.</li>
+      <li><dfn>Audition</dfn>: Blinks when using the import dialog to audition material.</li>
+      <li><dfn>Feedback</dfn>: Blinks when Ardour detects a <dfn>feedback loop</dfn>, which happens when the output of an audio signal chain is plugged back to its input. This is probably not wanted and can be dangerous for the hardware and the listener.</li>
+    </ul></li>
+  <li>A global Meter, showing the level of the Master Output, see <a href="/ardours-interface/meters/">Metering in Ardour</a></li>
+  <li>the Mode Selector, allowing to switch between Editor and Mixer views, or edit the Preferences.</li>
+</ul>
