Jim, here's an example of setting reaper markers with associated actions.
I've been experiment to get a loop machine, maybe like drum machine 
style recording, using markers on the time line, that trigger actions.
snip:
Marker Actions
This feature (also called "macro markers") allows you to place any 
Reaper action as a marker, and have that action run when the play cursor 
crosses over that marker.
All you have to do is place a marker and edit the marker text such that 
it starts with !, followed by the ID of a command/action/macro.  If you 
want to run more than one action, separate them with a space (eg !1 2 
3).  If you want to run a custom action or an extension action, use the 
action name instead of # from the Reaper actions dialog, eg 
!_SWS_SNAPSHOT_GET1.

For example, this marker will cause the playback to jump to marker 2 
when it crosses this marker:


You can get a list of all of Reaper's Command IDs by scrolling to the 
right in the Actions ('?') dialog.
This functionality can be enabled or disabled using the actions below, 
or by going to the Options menu and checking/unchecking "Enable SWS 
marker actions".
In the forum there are lots of good ideas about uses for marker 
actions:  Here's the original thread, and this particularly good thread 
shows using marker actions for punch points.
Available Actions:
• SWS: Toggle marker actions enable
• SWS: Enable marker actions
• SWS: Disable marker actions
