You seem to have missed this recent change? Suspend allows you to deal with Arrangement markers without involving the content.

The idea of arangement markers is awesome - anyone whose used song mode on an MPC understands how flexible the concept is.

Unfortunately, Arrangement Markers in Logic are missing:

- Delete a marker without deleting audio/midi under the marker

- Move a marker beyone the song to temporarily save markers that you're not sure fit in the song (yet)

- Move a marker right and have all subsequent markers move right (instead of cropping into the next marker)

- Double click to rename instaed of the painful >Menu >Rename workflow

- Set a loop amount in bars per marker (loop the verse marker 4 times etc)

Anyway, hopefully there are improvements in the pipeipline from Apple. You start using them but give up because there's too many restrictions which results in endless clicking and dragging.

In the ened, everyone I've talked to simply gives up and I completely understand where they're coming from - it's currently a half baked feature - great concept though.

Such a shame because the general idea is awesome.

There is no specific "Remove Arrangement Marker (without deleting Regions)" command. The only trick is to drag its right border (the Junction Tool appears) all the way to the left, resizing it to "zereo length", which means technically removing it.

New Arrangement Markers are always created at the end of the last Marker when you use the Plus button on the Track Header so there is never a gab between Markers. Even when you use the Pencil Tool and click on the right after the last Arrangement Marker, the last Marker will extend to fill the gab. I have never seen two Arrangement Markers on top of each other.

Here is an excerpt from book Logic Pro X - How it Works" that explains the different commands and the important difference between Managing Arrangement Markers and Using Arrangement Markers:

Here's the problem: when adding the arrangement markers (using the + button), they do not add successively to the right as they should. The new markers are showing up under my first arrangement marker which is very annoying. I tried deleting the markers but they remove the music that's below it (I don't want that!).

Is it possible that you press on the Plus Button of the Marker Track and not the Arrangement Marker Track (two totally different Tracks with totally different functionality). It is then also possible to have a Marker (not a Marker Track) and Regions selected at the same time. When you hit delete, then the Marker and the Regions are deleted.

BTW, you don't need the Arrangement Track to add a Drummer Track. However, if you have Arrangement Markers in your Project, then the new Drummer Regions will follow look up the name of the Arrangement Marker (Intro, Verse, Chorus, etc.) and choose a specific Drummer Preset that is suitable for that section. I also explain that functionality in more details in my Logic book

Hope that helps
