Adding markers

Markers (also called cues) are labeled points on the waveform used to mark sections, cues, or events in a song. Each song maintains its own independent marker list.

Adding a marker by double-clicking

Double-click an empty spot on the waveform to place a marker there. The marker appears immediately as a vertical colored line at the click point, snapped to the nearest frame, and is named after its position (for example 01:20). Adding a marker does not select it.

To rename a marker, double-click it, type the new name and press Enter (emptying the name deletes the marker), or right-click it and choose Rename Marker. The same right-click menu sets the marker's department (Role), Cue Number, Note, Trigger and Standby (sec), and deletes the marker.

Adding a marker at the playhead

There is no Add Marker button. To mark the playhead position without aiming at the waveform, use the keyboard (both are Pro features, and both work while playing or paused):

• 1–8 (and Shift+1–8) drop a marker at the playhead with that slot's label and color. See Quick-Cue Palette.
• I drops a marker with no label at the playhead, together with a region that starts there.

Double-click behavior setting

Go to Settings → Workflow → Appearance and toggle "Double-click waveform adds a marker".

• When on: double-clicking an empty spot on the waveform places a marker there (default).
• When off: a double-click no longer adds a marker. Use Ctrl+double-click or a quick-cue key to add markers in this mode.

Marker scope

Markers belong to the currently loaded song. Each song has its own independent marker list. Markers added while one song is loaded are not visible when a different song is loaded.

To change a marker's time, cue number, trigger label and other properties, select it in the CUES tab (the editor sits at the bottom of the tab) or right-click it on the waveform. See Editing a cue.
