Naming Markers

Newly created markers are automatically named “Marker ##” (unless derived from regions,
as described above). The “##” indicates a numerical value that reflects the order of
appearance of the markers along the Bar ruler (resulting in “Marker 1,” “Marker 2,” and so
on). The allocated number is dependent on the actual order of all markers in the project,
including markers that have been renamed.

Automatically assigned names can be changed directly in the Bar ruler, Marker track,
Marker List, or in the Marker Text window.

The length of the name displayed in the Marker track, Bar ruler, and Marker List depends
on available screen space, or the position of the following marker.

If you want to edit a marker name when creating it, hold Control-Option-Command while
clicking the desired Marker track position. A text field opens, allowing you to type the
new name. Press Return to complete the naming operation. You can also
Control-Shift-Command-double-click the Bar ruler (if the Marker track isn’t visible).

To edit a marker name in the Bar ruler

1

Do one of the following:

• Choose Options > Marker > Rename Marker (or use the corresponding key command,

default assignment: Command-Return).

• Option-double-click the marker.
