Pro Tools Create A Marker With Location Number In Title

Hey Lance,

I got heaps of help for this from the forum:

function newMemoryLocation(name, startTime) {
    sf.app.proTools.createMemoryLocation({
        name,
        startTime,
        colorIndex: 1
    });
}

function main() {
    sf.ui.proTools.appActivateMainWindow();

    // Get Memory Locations
    const memLocs = sf.app.proTools.memoryLocations.invalidate().allItems.map(memLoc => ({ number: memLoc.number, name: memLoc.name }));

    const markerName = "HELLO WORLD";
    const customMarkers = memLocs.filter(memLoc => memLoc.name.includes(markerName));

    // Read next marker number
    const nextMarkerNumber = customMarkers.length === 0
        ? 1
        : Math.max(...customMarkers.map(memLoc => parseInt(memLoc.name.split(markerName)[1] || "0", 10))) + 1;

    // Position of marker
    const mainCounterValue = sf.ui.proTools.mainWindow.counterDisplay.textFields.whoseTitle.is("Main Counter").first.value.value;

    const newMarkerName = `${memLocs.length + 1}. ${markerName} ${nextMarkerNumber}`;
    newMemoryLocation(newMarkerName, mainCounterValue);
}

main();

Specify your marker name in line 15. The great thing with this script is that it reads the memory location table, and it looks for previous instances of the marker name, so if you set the marker name to 'verse', it will automatically name the first one 'verse 1', the second one 'verse 2' etc. I have a lot of these made up from templates.
