Chapter 6 Working With Markers 133
To change the length of a marker:
m In the Marker track: Place the Pointer over the desired marker border. When the cursor
changes to a Resize pointer, drag the marker border to the desired position.
m In the Marker List: Use the mouse as a slider on the bar position display, or double-click
on a position value and enter the new value with the computer keyboard.
The marker border can also be the beginning of the subsequent marker, especially if
the length of the second marker hasn’t been defined. Markers cannot overlap.
To adjust a marker to fit a cycle:
m Drag a cycle onto an existing marker (with a right or left border—or both—that falls
inside the cycle boundaries).
Dragging the cycle area 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.
∏ Tip: When you hold Shift, after click-holding on the cycle, the cycle can be moved
horizontally, and then dragged onto a marker in one go.
Note: When you hold Shift, before clicking on the cycle, the nearest cycle border is set
to the clicked position.
To assign a color to a marker:
m Select a marker in the Marker track, choose View > Colors, then click the desired color
in the palette.
If dark colors are used, the marker text will automatically be shown in an inverse color.
If you create markers from regions, the corresponding marker uses the region color.
