<h3>Renaming Range Markers</h3>
<p>
Ardour provides two ways to rename an existing pair of range markers:
</p>
<ol>
<li>
Double-clicking either of the two range markers will show a dialog for
setting a new caption for the markers.
</li>
<li>
The same can be achieved by right-clicking on either of the markers and
selecting the <kbd class="menu">Rename Range…</kbd> menu item.
</li>
</ol>
<h2>Removing Range Markers</h2>
<p>
Range markers can be deleted in three ways:
</p>
<ol>
<li>
By clicking on one of the markers and pressing the <kbd>Del</kbd> key.
</li>
<li>
By right-clicking on one of the markers and selecting
<kbd class="menu">Remove Range</kbd>.
</li>
<li>
By clicking the markers' <kbd class="button">x</kbd> button in the
<em>Ranges &amp Marks</em> sidebar.
</li>
</ol>
<h2>More Options</h2>
<p>
The context (right-click) menu for range markers has more options than the
ones mentioned above:
</p>
<table class="dl">
<tr>
<th>Play Range</th>
<td>
Starts playback at the left marker in the pair and stops at the right
marker.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<th>Locate to Marker</th>
<td>
Moves the playhead to the selected marker.
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<th>Play from Marker</th>
<td>
Moves the playhead to the selected marker and starts playback.
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<th>Loop Range</th>
<td>
Creates a loop range off the selected range markers pair and starts
playback.
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<th>Set Marker from Playhead</th>
<td>
Changes the position of the selected marker to that of the playhead.
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<th>Set Range from Selection</th>
<td>
Adjusts the position of range markers to match the current selection.
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<th>Zoom to Range</th>
<td>
Changes the zoom so that the area defined by the range markers would be
maximized yet visible entirely within Ardour's window.
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<th>Glue to Bars and Beats</th>
<td>
When this option is enabled, the marker maintains its position in bars
and beats even if there are changes in tempo and meter.
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<th>Loudness Assistant…</th>
<td>
Launches the Loudness Assistant to analyze the selection defined by the
selected pair of range markers.
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<th>Export Range…</th>
<td>
Exports the selection defined by the selected pair of range markers.
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<th>Promote to Time Origin</th>
<td>
This makes the position of the chosen range marker the origin time. This
is mostly useful when the <em>Display delta to origin marker</em> clock
mode is enabled to display the difference between current playhead
position and the origin time. Absolute time stays unaffected.
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<th>Hide Range</th>
<td>
This hides the range from the Range Markers ruler. Marker's visibility
can be restored in the <em>Ranges&nbsp;&amp; Marks</em> sidebar.
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<th>Separate Regions in Range</th>
<td>
Cuts all regions crossing the positions of the range markers.
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<th>Select All in Range</th>
<td>
Select entire regions that cross the borders of the range markers.
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<th>Select Range</th>
<td>
Create a selection from the range markers in all selected tracks and
busses.
</td>
</tr>
