Markers and the snap grid
Arranging and editing
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.
