Chapter 2 Editing Enhancements 21
Newly created markers are automatically named “Marker ##”. The “##” value indicates
their order of appearance in the timeline, which will be displayed in the Bar Ruler as
“Marker 1,” “Marker 2” and so on. The number always refers to the actual order of all
markers in the song, including renamed markers.
To edit a marker name:
1 Double-click on the marker while holding down Control-Command.
2 A text entry field opens, allowing you to edit the marker’s name.
To change a marker’s position in the Bar Ruler:
1 Press Command and click-hold the marker in the Bar Ruler.
2 Drag the marker to the left or right.
To set the SPL to a marker:
m Press Command and click the marker in the Bar Ruler. The SPL is set to the start point of
the clicked marker. Double-clicking starts playback at the marker start point.
Note: You can drag a marker up into the top third of the Bar Ruler. This will set a cycle
area that matches the position and length of the marker (and thus the locator
positions). If the sequencer is stopped when performing this action, the SPL will be
moved to the cycle area start point.
