To copy a marker:

Drag the marker while holding Option, or use the standard Copy and Paste commands.

Marker Color

To assign a background color to a marker, open the color palette (View > Colors), select

one or several markers, and click the desired color in the palette.

Marker Text

If you double-click an existing marker in the Marker track, the Marker Text window will

open, containing the default Marker ## name. This name is pre-selected, allowing you

to immediately overwrite it by typing in the desired name. The “##” denotes the

automatically displayed Marker number, which corresponds to the (marker) order along

the timeline. You can also use the “##” characters in conjunction with other characters,

if you’d like the marker number to form part of the name. More about marker text can

be found in “Markers” on page 157.

Note: If you use Enter to create paragraphs in the Marker Text window, the first

paragraph of the text (regardless of its length) will be displayed in a separate “title line”

(of the marker) in the Marker track. This is unlike the marker display in the Bar Ruler,

where all text below the first paragraph will also be displayed in the Marker track,

depending on available space (you might want to change the height of the Marker

track). This can be used for musical or technical notes, as an example. In this scenario,

the marker color is only shown in the title line, with the remaining text displayed white

on black.

If you want to edit a marker name immediately after creating it, hold Control-Option-

Command while clicking on the desired marker track position: A text field will open,

allowing you to type the desired name. Press Return to complete.

This method of quick text entry can also be applied to existing markers: Double-click

the marker while holding Control-Command, or use the Text tool.
