I hope this update helps with Waves too.gonna go install it right now. Thanks for the info

Does anyone know how to move time markers in Reaper as a group? The manual is not very good for this and getting frustrating in the the current multi movement piece with lots of time changes am currently working on.
I would like to be able to shift all of the markers on the time line at the same time as events as a group to line up with the tracks when I move events ( wave and midi) around in the main window. I need to do this so I can add in parts where I need to and shift whole sections at once to fit new parts in when needed as the project is constantly evolving In that way. Cannot seem to figure out how to do this or find info on it
