reset marker numbering

Currently, when I create a series of markers they are numbered sequentially which is fine. ie, 1, 2, 3... However, if I delete, say Marker 3, and then make a new marker, that one is named is Marker 4.

I would expect the Marker name to resume at 3 since I just deleted 3. This is important to me because I often create selection markers for glossary terms that need to remain in the exact sequence in which they were recorded. If I delete a marker there is no way to go back and reset the count without deleting all the markers, closing the file and starting over. Manually changing the marker names is a time consuming process and definitely not a desirable option.

It would be great if Audition would query the list of existing markers when a new marker was made, and automatically name the new one to immediately follow the value of the last existing marker.

    The reply above is incorrect. If you have markers deleted, and want to add another one that initially appears to be out of sequence, then all you have to do is highlight the marker name in the marker list and change the number, so this way you could reinstate the 3 in the example above. It doesn't even have to be a number - this is the label you are altering. It's also possible to change marker positions by sliding them along the track, and although this won't reinstate any missing numbers, it may make the sequence easier to follow.

     

    Audition does query the marker list and add the next number in the sequence - but it doesn't care where you place it. If you want to do more complex edits then you have to export the marker list to a spreadsheet. To do this, download CueListTool (free) which will give you this option. It's then going to be possible to reorder by any criterion you choose. CueListTool will give you the option to replace the existing one with your revised version.

     

    And Markers have been like this forever; they are not going to change.

    I hope this functionality will be implemented soon because it would be very useful for me too.

    Both good and bad news. it's possible to do that, the marker will continue from the last marker number you assign, but you have to close and reopen Adobe Audition to do that. I really hope this should be fix so we don't have to close and reopen the program.
