No it’s not showing at the bottom.
I just opened a new Empty project the attached screen grabs show what I was getting - one was Transport on the other off.
It wouldn’t show for an existing project either.
I then opened a template for distortion guitar and vocals and lo and behold the transport was there.
Even stranger it’s now there if I open a new Empty or an existing project.
I’ve definitely found a Cubase 9 bug. But hopefully it’ll be there next time I open a project.
Thanks,
