    function selectBetween(no1, no2)
{

    sf.ui.proTools.memoryLocationsGoto({
        memoryLocationNumber: no1,
        restoreWindowOpenState: true,
        useKeyboard: true,
    });

    sf.ui.proTools.memoryLocationsGoto({
        extendSelection: true,
        memoryLocationNumber: no2,
        restoreWindowOpenState: true,
        useKeyboard: true,
    });

}

selectBetween(1, 4);

        Is there any way to make this work by using marker NAMES instead of number? I always use the same names for my markers, but sometimes they're not in the same position.

        I tried changing the selectBetween(1, 4) to selectBetween("START", "END") but it said it was invalid.

            could it be possible to make a selection between previous and next marker at the cursor position?
            this would be very helpful to select a shot to spot an ambience for instance
            thanks

              Hi @olafnoise - yes this is already a built in function :)
              Ctrl+Shift+M with default SoundFlow Triggers - the command is called "Select Between Markers" and is in "Pro Tools -> Memory Locations"

                I have a script that trims a background to between the markers and creates fades on both sides plus opens up the EQ and output window on the track so one can set a preliminary volume and pan.

                    is this script in a package yet?
                    thanks
