see the timecode incrementing in the timecode window. Notice that the
Current Time cursor under the timecode window moves from left to right

a #1, since it is the first cue.
While still in Play, press the [Enter] key on the Numeric keypad again. Another
cue will be captured, this time designated cue #2. Capture a few more cues by
pressing [Enter] and view them in the Cue list. You can capture cue points on
the fly in this manner throughout your mixes, building a comprehensive Cue
list very quickly. Each cue point is automatically numbered.
