Need better layout for markers, now time, etc when using aim assist (x)

[Josh Wolfer]

Actually, I've had something similar happen and that's when I created the marker, it was during playback and I hit 'M' to tag that spot and then rename it later. But my keyboard double tapped or something and it created 2 markers on top of each other, so when I dragged one, the second remained under it.

This used to work great. unfortunately The latest timeline changes (Selection markers) have made the hit zone a lot smaller and its hard to click on markers on 1st try. 

That's true. You have to hover right over the little flag on the top of the marker to see the cursor change. I do a quick zoom with the mouse wheel when markers are too close together, but a slightly larger hit box would be nice.

I second those calling for marker enhancements, with a multicolored section system (a feature requested for Cakewalk a number of times over the years), perhaps as a new time ruler, akin to Pro Tools' et al:

This is something I'd find incredibly useful in place of the rather indistinguishable (and easily passed over) old marker flag system.

Nice bonus functionality would be the ability to click on individual marker bars to select all audio within that marker's range.

Great to see so much consensus around requesting marker improvement! (We're actually so much in tune that both of us posted ProTools pictures in this discussion. ?)

Absolutely. I was actually coming onto the forum to start a new thread regarding marker enhancements when I saw this one, already started.

Great minds think alike, eh!

Let's hope the bakers consider a new marker track soon.
