MARKERS
752
For example, you could create marker 1 and
marker 2, but then add marker 3 between markers 1
and 2. In doing so, marker 1 and 2 can maintain
their original locate numbers, and marker 3 can be
assigned a unique locate number (such as 3). This
saves you from having to relearn all of the locate
points in your song, every time you add a marker
somewhere in the middle of the sequence. You have
complete control over where each locate number
takes you in the sequence.
Renumbering markers
You can edit a marker’s number by double-clicking
in the “Num” column in the Markers window.
There are also two mini-menu commands which
can be used to renumber multiple markers:
■ Renumber by Time: Sets locate numbers for the
selected markers (or all markers when none are
currently selected) in ascending order from top to
bottom in the Markers window.
■ Renumber by Name: Scans the names of the
selected markers (or all markers if none are
selected) and extracts the last number that appears
in each name to determine the marker’s locate
number.
JUMPING TO A MARKER WITH A SHORTCUT
In the Commands window (Setup menu), there is a
command called Go To Marker (in the Transport
commands group). By default, the keyboard
shortcut for this command is Shift-Control-M, but
you can reassign it to any key you wish (that doesn’t
conflict with another assignment, of course).
After invoking the Go To Marker command, either
type in the desired marker number, or press a
MIDI note on your MIDI controller that
corresponds with the desired marker number, as
specified by the Numeric Base Note. For details, see
“Numeric Base note” on page 97.
There are also commands for Go to Previous
Marker and Go to Next Marker. These commands
move the counter to the next or previous marker in
the sequence from the current counter location.
If you enable the Next/Prev follows Marker Nums
mini-menu item, the Go to Previous Marker and Go
to Next Marker commands will follow markers by
locate number (instead of their order in the
sequence).
SELECTING MARKERS
To select a marker in the Markers window list,
highlight it by clicking on its name. There are
several methods for selecting several markers at
once:
To select several adjacent markers, press on a
marker name and drag over the desired names. All
markers dragged over will highlight.
To select several non-adjacent markers, hold down
the Command/Ctrl key and click on the names of
the markers you wish to select. They will highlight.
To deselect markers when more than one are
highlighted, hold down the Command/Ctrl key and
click on the markers you wish to deselect. They will
unhighlight.
To extend the currently selected region, Shift-drag
over the desired end location, or Shift-click on the
desired end location.
USING MARKERS TO DEFINE AN EDIT
REGION
You can use markers to define a region to be edited:
instead of typing the Start and End locations in the
Selection Information window, you can use the
Markers window and the Selection Set To menu.
