Big live string-of-songs project, and a ready made track list setting there in the markers view (or the names of bounced-to-track song mixes -less likely?

Try the following (although I can't guarantee it will work):
Open the window that displays the Marker names
Hold down your left mouse button and drag over all the marker names and times
Ctrl+C (to copy)
Open MSWord
Click on Edit>Paste Special>Unformatted text

You *should* be able to add appropriate spaces and/or tab the text.

Well 'Cntrl C, 'Cntrl V 38 times wern't so bad- considering my typing skills.

Yeah, tried that but when I went to paste- no option highlighted.

In Word you have to click on Edit at the top LH corner of the screen, that opens a drop down menu, you can then click on Paste Special...

I'm at work, Wayne, so I can't try it on your behalf but I'll give it a go tonight when I get home.

Ah- I did not see (or know) about this.

It rather depends on whether you've managed to get some text onto the clipboard in the first place. It won't work with S7.

In Sonar 7 and 6, when I select all the markers in Marker View and copy them, nothing gets into the clipboard that Word is able to recognize: the Paste and Paste Special items are completely grayed out. Nor can markers be pasted into a Notepad txt document.

As far as I can tell, the only way to copy marker names is to open each one, copy it, switch to Word (or whatever), and paste it. Repeat. Lots of tedious clicking and switching. (At least the marker name is already selected when the marker is open.)

If you have a lot of markers, you could try taking a screen shot of Marker View, and then running the image through an OCR program to convert it to text. Is it worth it?

It should be possible to copy markers as text, and also to export them as a separate text file. It should be possible to then import those marker files back into the project and into new projects. Same with regions... except Sonar doesn't have regions....

For what reason? I'm really not trying to stir anything up but the Markers View allows the option of printing the markers. Why the need for a text document? If it's (as I suspect after re-reading the OP) a way of adding titles to some CD labeling software apps, I don't get it. That is, IMO, laziness taken to the extreme.

Why would I want markers from another project to be copied into different project?

BTW, it is possible to copy & paste markers from one project to another (although, I still don't know why I would want to do that)...

I would love a feature to copy and paste markers. I use a ton of markers during my music creation to keep track of the different scenes and changes. Being able to copy markers would keep me from having to retype my markers in a WORD file.

I use Sonar live - quite often with the Big Time meeter showing the measure/time counts. I always have a sheet in front of me when I'm directing the group thats performing live with my music that contains a "measure to marker" layout. If I could copy the measure to marker layout as it shows in the marker layout menu, they I wouldn't have to keep re-typing it for every song.....or copy and pasting about 50-75 markers and their assiciated measures - in Word.

BTW where in SONAR 8 is the ability to print markers?
