Change the length of a marker
Do one of the following:
m In the Marker track: Place the pointer over the left or right edge of the marker. When the pointer
changes to a Resize pointer, drag the marker edge to the new position.
m In the Marker List: Use the pointer as a slider in the Position field, or double-click a position value
and enter a new value.
Markers cannot overlap. The edge of one marker cannot be dragged over another marker.
Adjust a marker to fit the cycle area
m Drag the cycle area onto a marker in the Marker track.
Dragging the cycle area in the ruler is limited to either horizontal or vertical movements. This
ensures that you do not accidentally:
•
Move the cycle when creating markers (by dragging the cycle into the lower third of the ruler
or into the Marker track)
•
Create markers when moving the cycle
Tip: When you hold down Shift after click-holding the cycle, the cycle can be moved horizontally,
and then dragged to a marker in one go. When you hold down Shift before clicking the cycle, the
nearest cycle border is set to the clicked position.
Color a marker
1 Choose View > Show Colors to open the Color palette.
2 Select the marker in the Marker track, then click a color in the Color palette.
When you select a dark color, the marker text is automatically shown in an inverse color.
