About markers
Markers are used to quickly locate certain positions. If you 
often find yourself jumping to a specific position within a 
project, you should insert a marker at this position. There

tions of a range. 
 Standard markers that store a specific position. 
Markers can be created and edited in several ways: 
 By using the Marker window (see below).

Project window

and the locators, markers can be used in conjunction with 
the Range Selection tool to make range selections in the 
Project window. This is useful if you quickly want to make 
a selection that spans all tracks in the project. 
Double-click with the Range Selection tool between any
