Creating Markers

Markers are a great way to get around a Logic project, and you can resize their length and move them around easily. So, you should save them in your template. But for this book, I will create them in my project. You can create markers in either the Global Tracks or the Marker List editor. I will do so in the global Marker track.

Creating markers in the Marker track

Here is my process:

1. Press Option + G to bring up the Global Tracks configuration window and hide all but Marker.
2. Click the + sign at the upper right at bar 10 to create Marker 1.
3. I'm going to create another at bar 5, where my verse begins, and another at 22, for my chorus.
4. Double-click or use the Text tool to rename Marker 1 to Intro.
5. Rename the second Marker to Verse, and the third to Chorus.

The Marker Track now looks like this:

This doesn't look very inspiring but we will soldier...
