Why the number of Marker tracks is limited to 10 tracks?

Hi all!

That may seem a bit simplistic as a question, but it intrigues me: Why is the number of Marker tracks limited to 10 tracks?

Well, I know some people will say 'Why would you need more than 10? ’ I would probably answer something like ‘Why not…’.

Why is this type of track not limited to available disk space like Instrument, MIDI, and Audio tracks?

Is there a technical reason for this?

I expect it’s simply a design choice, nothing fundamental.

Please change this Steinberg! We need an ilimited amout of Marker Tracks!

I don’t know how you all came to the conclusion of such a limitaiton, but it never existed. I’ve always used several dozen markers in my projects since at least Cubase VST5/32 released in 2000 or 2001. There used to even be a function for assigning each marker to a note on the MIDI master keyboard, allowing up to 128 markers. I tested this function at the time, but didn’t keep it because I had no use for it. I was just as quick with the keyboard shortcuts for jumping from the previous marker to the next.
I’m pasting here a snapshot I took while testing one of my projects on Cubase Pro 13 to prove that you can go well beyond 10 markers per project.

But this topic talks about marker tracks, not markers

Oups. :sweat_smile:
