Hey Paul This is exactly right. There is no need to set a marker for this sort of thing. I briefly showed the technique in a recent podcast. It also applies when cutting a bit of audio out of the middle of a track, you only need to set a marker at one end of the section you want to cut, than go to the other end and command Y to bring the insertion point to play head and command arrow to the marker at the other end. You will than have the desired section selected and ready for deleting or whatever you want.
