use them as locate points for track editing or when perform-
ing auto-punch recording.
You can also use the JUMP buttons to move to a mark you’ve
stored.
The mark list in the Mark Edit screen also shows the “Last

cations at which you most recently started and stopped re-
cording.

them in the list, but you can’t delete these points or use the JUMP
buttons to move to them.
