Displaying markers -- horizontally?

Post by lamboguy »

I'm sure the answer is no, but is there any way to display markers horizontally? I often end up with dozens of markers, and it would just be so great if I had a little horizontal ribbon I could place anywhere that looked like this:

1; 22; 45; 55; 73; 79; 85; 99; (etc.)

I rarely label my markers, they're just bar numbers, so this is the way I'd love to display/choose them.

anyway, just a thought as -- I'm sure the answer is no! :-D

Cheers,

Fred

Do you mean like in the Markers window? That sounds like exactly what you are talking about.

I don't think you can in their own window, but you CAN display just the Conductor track in the Sequence Editor and select a region, which would select the marker. Not really sure what that would be good for except to seleect / delete them (or simply see where they are). I think that is as close to what you want as I can figure. (I don't use markers.)

Thanks, good idea MLC (as usual!)

Ultimately, I think the answer is "no, you can't." :) But I'll give that a shot.

I just want everything to work the way I want it to work. Is that asking too much? :lol:

Cheers,

Fred

MLC may be on to something there. If you selected only the conductor track in the Sequence Editor, and tightened up the window so that the markers overlapped each other, you'd have essentially a horizontal list of markers such that each marker is visible over its barline number.
