Script to create markers ?

[tionline]

Hi everyone,

I'm pretty new to Reaper and I just discovered there was an impressive way to make scripts for different actions.
I found an easy way to assign a keyboard shortcut to create a marker (for example, Ctrl+8 to create a marker with ID 8). But the predifined actions only goes from marker 1 to marker 10. Do you think it could be possible to go up to 20 (with other keys like F1, F2...) with a script ?

I guess it could be done with a function like "SetProjectMarker" ou "SetProjectMarkerByIndex"... could somobedy help me a little ?
I tried editing X-Raym's scripts but I'm really lost !

Thanks and lot, and sorry for my english, I'm doing my best !

I believe this would work:

reaper.Undo_BeginBlock()
reaper.PreventUIRefresh(1)

	local id = INSERT_ID_YOU_WANT_HERE
	local pos = reaper.GetCursorPosition()
	reaper.AddProjectMarker2(0,false,pos,0,"", id,0)

reaper.PreventUIRefresh(-1)
reaper.Undo_EndBlock("Create Marker", -1)

If you want to have a specific name you should place it inside the quotation marks.

Thanks a lot, Claudio !

It works well, and looks easier than I thought. But I still have a last question ;-)

With your script, multiple markers can share the same ID. So I tried to add a line to prevent this. It seems to be working on my computer but I'm not sure this is the best way to do so. Could you tell me what you think about this ?

reaper.Undo_BeginBlock()
reaper.PreventUIRefresh(1)

	local id = MARKER_ID
	local pos = reaper.GetCursorPosition()
	reaper.DeleteProjectMarker(0, id, false)
	reaper.AddProjectMarker2(0,false,pos,0,"", id,0)

reaper.PreventUIRefresh(-1)
reaper.Undo_EndBlock("Create Marker", -1)

Thanks again!
