is there a way to get 8 vertical parralel lines across the waveform?

waveform-vertical-time-lines

Not the most elegant way, but it works (using multislider).

aight, thanks for that. exactly what i mean. but indeed a bit of a rusty way.

is there a manner of doing this with settings in waveform~'s inspector?

If you use the grid feature, you can scale it to the display size and get a grid at whatever spacing you want. So if your sample is 10 seconds long (info~ gives 10000 msec), and you want a spacing of 8, multiply the total length by the reciprocal (one-eighth) of that amount: grid 1250. Or you could cut it up any way you want with different values, though there's a limit to how close waveform~ will draw the lines.

If you move/zoom around you might want to match the grid to the new length (use display start/length values to calculate), though the multiplier would stay the same. Depends if you want an absolute versus a relative grid display.
