viously done so. If using {Earliest M} and no cue with a mark flag has already been set, {Emer-
gency Mark} will set a mark flag. See Record Defaults (on page143)for more information.

Reference Marks and Timing
Movement of non-intensity parameters in conjunction with a mark will adhere to the following tim-
ing rules.
If discrete timing is used for non-intensity parameters:
When channels execute a mark, the moves will use the discrete time(s) assigned to them in the
source cue.
For Example:
A mark is applied to Cue 5, making it the marked cue.
