Location Markers appear in the Locations Markers ruler at the top of the timeline. They have multiple uses, most commonly — for navigation in a session, e.g. where this or that instrument should start/stop playing. Custom markers can be created at any position in a session.

The start and end markers, that define the length of the session, appear automatically once any content has been added to the session (either recorded or imported). The end marker automatically shifts to the right once more material gets added.

Creating Location Markers

There are multiple ways to create custom markers at the current playhead position:

using the keyboard shortcut (default is Tab)
using the Transport > Markers > Add Mark from Playhead menu.

Adding a marker at an arbitrary location on the timeline (i.e. not at the playhead position) can also be done either by:

right clicking in the Location Marker ruler, and selecting New location marker
using the Ranges & Marks List, clicking New Marker and using the clock widget to set its position.

Moving Location Markers

Left-clicking and dragging moves a single marker to a new location on the timeline.

It is possible to move multiple markers by the same distance. Left-clicking each marker creates a selection of markers that can be dragged left or right together.

Renaming Location Markers

There are three ways to rename a location marker:

Double-click on a marker opens a dialog where a new name can be submitted.
Right-clicking on a marker and selecting Rename…. opens a dialog where a new name can be submitted.
Editing and confirming the name by pressing Enter in an entry box in the Ranges & Marks sidebar.

Removing Location Markers

There are three ways to remove a location marker:

Hovering the marker and pressing Enter.
Right-clicking on a marker and selecting Remove.
Clicking the x for a marker of choice in the Ranges & Marks sidebar.

More Options

The context (right-click) menu for location markers has more options than the ones mentioned above:

Locate to Here	Moves the playhead to the selected marker.
Play from Here	Moves the playhead to the selected marker and starts playback.
Move Mark to Playhead	This changes the position of the selected marker to that of the playhead.
Create Range to next Marker	This creates a pair of range markers between the selected marker and the next one to the right on the timeline.
Promote to Time Origin	This makes the position of the chosen range marker the origin time. This is mostly useful when the Display delta to origin marker clock mode is enabled to display the difference between current playhead position and the origin time. Absolute time stays unaffected.
Hide	This hides the selected marker from the ruler until the user chooses to unhide it.
Rename…	This opens a dialog to rename the marker.
Lock	This prevents a marker from being accidentally moved elsewhere.
