Hi all,

Anyone could help me with the translation of 'tic mark' in "Use this control to change the number of tic mark lines that appear on each bar".

No context I am afraid. That is what it makes it difficult. Have some ideas but not sure. Thanks a lot

Arriba no sale el símbolo de la tic mark, por alguna razón el sistema pone el signo de interrogación, pero se trata de una especie de letra V con uno de sus lados más corto.
Me imagino que lo de \"visto\" será abreviación de \"visto bueno\".
