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.
