Moving markers
1.
Place the mouse pointer on the marker to be moved. The hand cursor ( ) appears.
2.
Drag the marker to the desired position.
Naming markers
ACID allows you to name markers in your project. You may want to name markers based on parts of the
project. For example, you may want to identify choruses, refrains, bridges, or instrument solos as reference
points along the timeline.
1.
Place the mouse pointer on the marker to be named. The hand cursor ( ) appears.
2.
Right-click the marker and choose Rename from the shortcut menu. A box appears next to the marker.
3.
Type a marker name in the box and press to save the name.
Tip:
You can use the same steps to rename a marker.
Alternately, you can double-click the marker and enter a new
name.
Navigating to markers
While you are working on your project, you may have scrolled to a portion of the project where the cursor is
not visible. There are two ways to move the cursor directly to the selected marker:
• Right-click the marker and choose
Go To from the shortcut menu.
• Click the marker once.
• Press the number key (not on the numeric keypad) corresponding to the marker number.
Tip:
You may also navigate from one marker to the next by
pressing +left/right arrow key.
Adjusting tempo to match cursor to marker
Position the cursor, right-click the marker tab, and choose Adjust tempo to match cursor to marker from the
shortcut menu. The project tempo changes so that the cursor position matches the selected marker.
Deleting markers
You may remove markers from the project at any time. Because markers are automatically numbered when
they are placed, ACID does not renumber the remaining markers when one is deleted. Rather, the remaining
markers retain their numbers. However, if you add markers later, ACID begins numbering to fill the
sequence gap.
For example, if you have five markers in your project and delete markers three and four, the remaining
markers are listed as one, two and five. When you add markers again, ACID begins numbering the markers as
three and four.
1.
Place the mouse pointer on the marker to be deleted. The hand cursor ( ) appears.
2.
Right-click the marker and choose Delete from the shortcut menu. The marker is removed from the
project.
