To automatically create markers where silence occurs, see “Delete Silence and Mark Audio options” on page 80.

• Click a marker in the Editor or Markers panel. Or double-click to move the current-time indicator to that
location and select the area for range markers.
• To select adjacent markers, click the first marker you want to select in the Markers panel, and then Shift-click the
last.
• To select nonadjacent markers, Ctrl-click (Windows) or Command-click (Mac OS) them in the Markers panel.
