Imagine I've got a song and the first verse starts at bar 9.
CPS: 16 Duration: 3.7s

If I want to be able to get back to that first verse with a single key press,

I can move to bar 9. I'm going to do that using Page Down.

M on its own would drop a project marker, but it wouldn't let me name it, and I want to name it.
CPS: 21 Duration: 4.56s

So, Shift M, and I'm going to call this First Verse.

I'm going to do Control J for the Jump dialog.
CPS: 18 Duration: 2.54s
16
That would be Command J on the Mac.
CPS: 24 Duration: 1.5s

Okay, don't panic. I'm not going to make you sit through that message
CPS: 23 Duration: 2.92s
