Chapter 6 Working With Markers 127
Markers created in these ways are automatically assigned the names, bar position,
length and color of the regions they are derived from.
To create a marker that corresponds exactly to the length and position of a cycle:
m Drag the cycle down into the Marker track or into the lower third of the Bar ruler.
Dragging the cycle in the Bar 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 Bar ruler or into the Marker track).
 Create markers when moving the cycle area.
The following explains how marker movements and the cycle interact:
 When dragging the cycle to the marker area in the Bar ruler, the pointer turns into a
hand with up/down arrows. As soon as you move the pointer horizontally in the
marker area of the Bar ruler, the pointer becomes a hand (without arrows). The Copy
Cycle to Marker action is canceled.
 If you first move the cycle horizontally, and then try to drag it to the Marker area of
the Bar ruler, no Marker is created.
 When you hold Shift, after click-holding on the cycle, the cycle can be moved
horizontally, and then dragged to the marker area in one go.
Note: When you hold Shift, before clicking on the cycle, the nearest cycle border is set
to the clicked position.
To copy a marker:
m In the Marker track: Option-drag the marker, or use the standard Copy (Command-C)
and Paste (Command-V) commands.
m In the Marker List: Use the standard Copy and Paste commands.
