Using regions

Choose Insert > Region (or press R) to add region markers at each end of the current selection. Regions can be used to indicate sections of projects such as choruses or verses, or they can be used to make notes in the project.

Each region (up to 99) is assigned a number. Pressing this number on the keyboard selects the corresponding marker.
