Markers and the snap grid
Arranging and editing
are useful for projects that require you to sync the music or sound with film scores or multimedia
presentations. See “To Add a Marker” on page 319.
SONAR takes the current snap grid settings into account when you move or copy markers. For
example, if the snap grid is set to even measure boundaries, any time you move or copy a marker,
the marker will be snapped to the beginning of the nearest measure. You are allowed to have any
number of markers at a single time point.
To display the Markers view, choose View > Markers or click on the Views toolbar. From the
Markers view, you can use the File > Print and File > Print Preview commands to print a listing of
markers.
Figure 54. The Markers view
You can add markers while playback is stopped or while playback is in progress (on the fly). When
you add a marker while playback is stopped, you can enter a name for the marker and either use the
Now time or enter a different time. When you add a marker on the fly, the marker is named
automatically and assigned the Now time. Using the Markers view, you can edit the names and
times whenever you want.
