About Marker Numbers

Each marker is assigned a number 000-999, in the order of its time location. This means that if you add a new marker at a location earlier than an existing marker, the numbers of the subsequent markers will be incremented.

Displaying Markers

The Marker number at any playback location is indicated in the display. If there is no Marker number in the current location, then the closest preceding Marker number is displayed. If there are no markers in the song, “—” is indicated. If “***” is shown in the display, it indicates that although there are markers placed in the song, the current location is before the first marker.
