<dfn>Cue markers</dfn> allow bridging linear and non-linear approaches to
|
||
|
|
composing music. The idea is that a user can set up entire cues, then place a
|
||
|
|
cue marker on the timeline to launch a cue of choice at a particular point in
|
||
|
|
time. The workflow is explained in more details in the
|
||

<h2>Adding Cue Markers</h2>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
There are several ways to add a cue marker:
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<ul>
|
||
|
|
<li><kbd class="mod1n"></kbd>-click on the ruler creates a marker that
|
||
|
|
launches the A cue.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li><kbd class="mod1n"></kbd>-doubleclick on the rules creates a marker that
|
||
|
|
launches the A cue, then opens the dialog to edit its name</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Right-click on the ruler opens a menu where A to P markers are listed</li>
|
||
|
|
</ul>

|
|
<h2>Moving Cue Markers</h2>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
Just like any other marker, a cue marker can be picked and relocated by
|
||
|
|
dragging it left or right.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<h2>Stopping All Cues</h2>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
Ardour has a special kind of a marker that immediately stops all playing cues.
|
||
|
|
This marker (<kbd class="menu">Stop All Cues</kbd>) can be added via the
|
||
|
|
right-click menu on the Cue Markers ruler.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<h2>Removing Cue Markers</h2>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
Right-clicking on an existing cue marker opens the context menu with a number
|
||
|
|
of options. Choosing <kbd class="menu">Remove</kbd> will delete the cue marker
|
||
|
|
of choice.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
When all existing cue markers have to be removed, the best option is to
|
||
|
|
right-click on the Cue Markers ruler (any place except an existing marker) and
|
||
|
|
choose <kbd class="menu">Clear All Cues</kbd>. This will delete all cue
|
||
|
|
markers in the session.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<h2>More Options</h2>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
The context menu for existing markers provides several more options:

Playhead.</td>

|

|

|
||

bars and beats even if there are changes in tempo and time signature.
