Chapter 5 Working in the Timeline 121
Naming Markers
You can name time markers and beat markers, so that each marker can provide a
unique visual cue to a specific point in the Timeline or Waveform Editor. For example,
you can name markers to define sections of your project (Introduction, Verse, or
Chorus), to reflect what’s happening in the music (Latin Rhythm or Fast Groove), or to
serve as reminders for your workflow (Add Horns Here, Transpose to D, Insert
Delay Effect).
To name a beat marker or time marker, do one of the following:
m Control-click the marker handle, choose Edit from the shortcut menu, type a name in
the Marker Name field of the dialog that appears, then click OK.
m Make the Details tab active, select the marker, then type a name in the Name field of
the Details tab.
To view marker titles in the Timeline:
m Choose View > Show Marker Titles.
Moving Markers
You can move a marker either by dragging the marker’s handle, or by entering a new
position for the marker in an Edit dialog.
To move either a beat marker or time marker, do one of the following:
m Drag the marker by its handle, located in the area above the Time ruler, to a new
position in the Timeline.
m Show the Details tab, click the marker you want to move, then enter a new position in
the Position field.
m Control-click the marker handle, choose Edit from the shortcut menu, then type a new
position in the Time field.
You can also select and drag multiple markers. When you move a marker by dragging,
the marker’s position snaps to the nearest Snap To position if snap is turned on. For
information on setting the Snap To value, see “
Creating Crossfades Between Audio
Clips ” on page 111.
Type a name in the
Marker Name field.
Enter a time position
here to move the marker
to that position.
