Colored markers not only in overview but also in circle

Hi,

is there a way of having the markers not only in the main overview but also in the circles? I suggest this because its hard to find the exact spot where the markers have been set, the solid bar (in the circle) is fully solid during a whole revolution, so to find out the exact marker position I usually look at what position does the solid bar gets smaller, than I have to add a half revolution and thats the exact position of the marker.

Dont know if this is understandable what I tried to explain ;-)

i like that idea too.... just a colored dot or something in the grey part of the circle that fills up as the track plays.... that would be helpful

From the user manual, page 12.

"You will notice that the stripe on the label view jumps to the
12 o’clock position and changes color when you set a marker
– you are at the marked point when the stripe is one solid color
and at the 12 o’clock position."

Uhm let me get this straight, does this mean you can only set marking points on 12oclock positions?

No, it means the 12 o'clock position changes to coincide with the nearest marker.

Hm I dont understand this. This would mean that either the angle if the rotating disc will change or you get a jump in display, I will check that out.

Okay, just tried it and it is as you described. The solid bar jumps when it comes near to a marker, I never expected this as I thought the solid bar and the circles should exactly represent the vinyl and the needle position. Total misunderstanding from my point. Then of course there is no need for my suggested feature. Maybe instead of a jumping bar I would like to see a bar which is consistent with the needle/angle position, and markers on the disc. But.. its nice to have, nothing relly essential to me.
