GRAPE MARS Help

Appearance

Create an annotation by dragging ​

Mark a moment on a track by dragging, and give the new annotation its value.

The timeline. Each row is a track, and each coloured bar is one annotation.

Before you start ​

Steps ​

  1. Click the tab of the speaker you are working on. The timeline shows that speaker's work.
  2. Press the left mouse button on empty space in a track row. The pointer is a cross on every track row.
  3. Drag to the right or the left. A dashed outline follows your mouse.
  4. Drop the mouse button. A list headed Select type opens where you let go.
  5. Click a sub-type in the list. A coloured bar appears on the track.

When no list opens ​

The list only opens when the track has 2 or more sub-types.

  • With no sub-types, GRAPE MARS creates the bar at once and uses the track name as its value.
  • With one sub-type, GRAPE MARS creates the bar at once and uses that sub-type.
  • On a free-text track, a small box opens instead. See Use free-text tracks.

Press Escape to close the list without making anything.

Check it worked ​

The bar sits on the track and carries the value you picked. A drag shorter than 0.1 seconds makes nothing, so drag a little further if no bar appears.

Your new bar belongs to the speaker tab that was open, and to you as the coder.
