When applying a GPI macro command, the tag position depends on the ‘link to’
parameter and the Advance/Delay parameter and duration defined in the Settings:
• current position (with or without a delay or an advance),
• IN point (with or without a delay), or
• OUT point (with or without an advance).
When applying a Mute macro command, the tag position depends on the ‘link to’
parameter defined in the Settings:
• current position,
• IN point, or
• OUT point.
Refer to section ‘Limitations’ on page 96 for occasions when the current position
cannot be calculated.
Note
In case the tag position is linked to the IN or the OUT point and the
playlist element is trimmed, the tag position is recalculated to still fit
with the IN or OUT point respectively.
