Markers created in these ways are automatically assigned the names, bar position, length
and color of the regions they are derived from.
To create a marker that corresponds exactly to the length and position of a cycle
µ
Drag the cycle down into the Marker track or into the lower third of the Bar ruler.
Dragging the cycle in the Bar ruler is limited to either horizontal or vertical movements.
This ensures that you do not accidentally:
• Move the cycle when creating markers (by dragging the cycle into the lower third of
the Bar ruler or into the Marker track).
• Create markers when moving the cycle area.
The following explains how marker movements and the cycle interact:
• When dragging the cycle to the marker area in the Bar ruler, the pointer turns into a
hand with up/down arrows. As soon as you move the pointer horizontally in the marker
area of the Bar ruler, the pointer becomes a hand (without arrows). The Copy Cycle to
Marker action is canceled.
• If you first move the cycle horizontally, and then try to drag it to the marker area of the
Bar ruler, no Marker is created.
