Access to items in property lists is typically faster than linear lists. I don't think so. All tests are fallible, but try this - it seems that linear lists have a very slight edge over accessing a prop list by position, and a much better edge over accessing a prop list through a property.

Actually, I think it's much simpler. Marker is a function, so you have to put the marker name in parentheses, thus: go to marker ("x") Also, "if" is misspelled "in". I assume that's just a typo. frame would assume a frame number (integer) No, you can use a marker name with go the frame.
