Markers or indices

I see that there is a marker class listed in the API, but as far as I can tell, there is no track reference in the marker object and there is no collection of markers in the track object. I assume that this means that markers can not be assigned to a particular track but only to a position on the time line. Is this correct?

Is there any type of object that can be added to a particular position in time on a track that can be identified through the API?

How about an effect keyframe? (But an effect that doesn't do anything, e.g. black and white, set to 0 percent)

Yes, markers indicate a time on the timeline. I'm not understanding exactly what you are looking to do. The timeline time and the track time is the same. However, if you are wanting "something" on a track, any event can start at any time on the track.

What's the difference between marking time on the timeline versus marking time on the track? It's the same time.

Basically I am wanting to be able to place a marker on a particular track at a particular time and write a script to run after all of the marks have been made that would start processing at the appropriate position in time on the first track with a mark and continue until it encounters another mark on the timeline for the same or a different track. I guess the best way to do this from the knowledge I have at this point would be to place a marker on the time line with a a track reference as its label.

That's how Excalibur works. Use the Marker name and Track name to indicate matches.
