## m Statement (Mark Statement)

m — Sets a named mark in the score.

## Description

Sets a named mark in the score, which can be used by an n statement.

## Syntax

    m p1

## Initialization

p1 -- Name of mark.

## Performance

This can be helpful in setting a up verse and chorus structure in the score. Names may contain letters and numerals.

For example, the following score:

    m foo
    i1 0 1
    i1 1 1.5
    i1 2.5 2
    s
    i1 0 10
    s
    n foo
    e

Will be passed from the preprocessor to Csound as:

    i1 0 1
    i1 1 1.5
    i1 2.5 2
    s
    i1 0 10
    s
    ;; this is named section repeated
    i1 0 1
    i1 1 1.5
    i1 2.5 2
    s
    ;; end of named section
    e
