Create markers
You can create a marker at any position in your project. When you create a marker, it can be
rounded to the nearest quarter note, to the nearest bar, or not rounded.
You can use the Create Marker key commands to add markers during playback.

In the Marker track, do one of the following:
m Place the playhead at the position where you want to create a marker, then click the Create
Marker button .

Create a marker rounded to the nearest bar
Do one of the following:

bar position (if the playhead is between two bars). If a marker already exists at a bar position (or
up to a quarter note before or after it), no new marker is created.
The length of the marker automatically extends to the start point of the next marker, or to the
end of the project or folder, if no ensuing markers exist.
