Is there any way to manually change what the next marker number will be when pressing M?

I'm working on a large dialogue project with 14,000 individual voice prompts. 

 

I'm marking each prompt as a marker region and then exporting. When I open a file and I stopped on lets say 450, pressing M creates a marker labeled 1. So I have to press M 450 times if I want my next region to be 451. 

Soon I'll be working on a file that starts at number 1,000. Is there really no way to ask the markers to start at 1,000? Pressing the M key 1,000 times seems crazy. And even more crazy when i start to get up to the higher thousands. I could always just ignore the numbers, but that's a great way to get lost since the numbers won't match up. This seems like it should be simple, but I can't find an answer.

I'm afraid that the marker system leaves quite a lot to be desired from a flexibility point of view. You can't alter the sequence in a file at all; new markers get added numerically sequentially, wherever they are placed in the file, so that they easily get mixed up anyway if you add markers post-recording. For most people it isn't an issue, because they name their markers immediately they create them, and that gets rid of the number visibly.

 

Cue lists are exportable though - there's an app (free) called CueListTool that extracts them from the end of the audio file they're stored in and lets you manipulate them - you can even get them into a spreadsheet, I believe. I don't know if that will help you or not but as far as Audition itself is concerned, as I said, it's rather inflexible.
