124 Chapter 6 Working With Markers
 Marker track: Displays markers as (optionally) colored sections. If the Marker track is
hidden, you can see markers as short text strings in the Bar ruler of all linear editing
windows. The main advantage of the Marker track over the marker display in the Bar
ruler, is that it allows you to select, copy, move, or resize markers directly with the
mouse. Click the disclosure triangle in the upper left corner of the Marker track name
column to expand the track height, thereby displaying additional controls. You can
freely adjust the lower border of the Marker track by dragging it up or down with the
mouse.
 Marker List: Lists the names of all markers, inclusive of bar position and length
information.
 Marker Text area and Marker Text window: Show text associated with a marker. This
makes markers suitable for use as notepads, allowing text comments to be saved
with the project. Marker text can be typed in, and edited, as you would in any text
editor. The Cut, Copy, Paste, Clear, and Select All commands can be used to import or
export text to and from other software applications (such as word processors).
Apart from the text functions, markers can also be regarded as storage areas for locator
positions—each of which can be individually named.
