A Marker is simply text that you type, inserted into the Cue List at a selected
time. 
In the “Real Time” section of this manual it was shown how Markers can be
captured on the fly and inserted into the Cue List while time code is being
received.
Markers are useful for marking significant sections of the mix, such as, ‘First
Chorus”, “Third Verse”. 
Markers may also be used as notes to remind you of important edits that may
need to be made to the mix later, such as,...

Markers in the Cue List that have been “captured” in Real Time are simply
called Marker.

text.

the marker.
The Find dialogue box permits...

precision fade-ins and fade-outs simply by specifying a start and end time,
(just as you would specify an “In point” and an “Out point” in an Edit
Decision List).

multiple mixes open, this will help you keep track of which Cue List will...
