Naming Markers
You can name time markers and beat markers, so that each marker can provide a unique
visual cue to a specific point in the Timeline or File Editor. For example, you can name
markers to define sections of your project (Introduction, Verse, or Chorus), to reflect what’s
happening in the music (Latin Rhythm or Fast Groove), or to serve as reminders for your
workflow (Add Horns Here, Transpose to D, Insert Delay Effect).
