Using markers
Using markers to make range selections in the
Project window
Besides enabling you to quickly move the project cursor
and the locators, markers can be used in conjunction with
the Range Selection tool to make range selections in the
Project window. This is useful if you quickly want to make
a selection that spans all tracks in the project.
• Double-click with the Range Selection tool between any
two markers – this creates a selection range between the
markers, spanning all tracks in the project (just as if you had
used the Range Selection tool to draw a rectangle).
Any functions or processing you perform now will affect the selection only.
Moving and copying sections
This is a quick way to move or copy complete sections of
the project (on all tracks):
1. Set markers at the start and end of the section you
want to move or copy.
2. Select the Range Selection tool and double-click on
the Marker track between the markers.
Everything in the project within the cycle marker boundaries is selected.
3. Click on the Marker track in the selected range and
drag the range to a new position.
The selection in the Project window is moved to the same position.
• If you hold down [Alt]/[Option] while you drag the range,
the selection in the Project window is copied instead.
Marker key commands
You can use key commands for the following marker oper-
ations:
If you need to check or change any key command assign-
ments, the marker commands can be found in the Trans-
port category in the Key Commands dialog.
Ö For the [Shift]+[Pad1] to [Pad9] commands to work,
Num Lock must be deactivated on the computer key-
board!
Editing markers in the Project
Browser
If you have a Marker track in the Project window, you can
create and edit all marker parameters, including marker
IDs, in the Project Browser. Proceed as follows:
1. Open the Project Browser by selecting it from the
Project menu.
2. Select “Marker” in the Project Structure window.
A list of the markers is shown in the main Browser window.
3. Now you can edit marker names, positions and ID
numbers by selecting an item and typing in values as usual
in the main editor window.
For details about editing in the Project Browser see “Editing the Marker
track” on page 412.
• You can use the Add pop-up menu in combination with
the Add button to insert new markers or cycle markers
when the Marker track is selected in the Project Browser.
This works just like the Add button in the Marker window (see “Adding
and removing markers in the Marker window” on page 107).
