<p>
<dfn>Location Markers</dfn> appear in the <a href="@@ruler">Locations Markers
ruler</a> at the top of the timeline. The green
<dfn style="background-color:limegreen;">begin</dfn> and
<dfn style="background-color:limegreen;">end</dfn> markers, that define the length of the session, appear
automatically, but yellow <span style="background-color:gold;">custom</span> markers can be created at any position in a
session.
</p>
<p>
There are multiple ways to create custom markers at the current playhead position:
</p>
<ul>
<li>using the keyboard shortcut (default is <kbd>Tab</kbd></li>
<li>using the <kbd class="menu">Transport &gt; Markers &gt; Add
Mark from Playhead</kbd> menu.</li>
</ul>
<p>
Adding a marker at an arbitrary location on the timeline (i.e. not at the playhead
position) can also be done either by:
</p>
<ul>
<li><kbd class="mouse">right</kbd> clicking in the Location Marker ruler, and
selecting <kbd class="menu">New location marker</kbd></li>
<li>using the <a href="@@the-ranges-and-marks-lists">Ranges &amp; Marks List</a>,
clicking <kbd class="menu">New Marker</kbd> and using the <a href="@@editing-clocks">
clock widget</a> to set its position.</li>
</ul>
