Change colour of arrangement locators

Post by sporkles » Sun Sep 03, 2023 6:52 pm

The title basically says it all. It would be nice to be able to use colour coding of the locators to indicate eg. "chorus", "verse", "drop" (or whatever the cool kids call it these days), "takeoff", "bridge", etc., since the actual names of the locators often get truncated.

I make a track at the top of the arrangement and create dummy clips in there with the names and the colour coding, does the same trick...

Sure, I've done that, but that track won't stick to the top of the screen like the markers do. I've actually requested an optional "structure" track before that would do this; it would let you make (sort of) dummy clips that, if clicked, would select everything beneath them, so that structuring and rearranging sections would be a lot easier.
