-There is also the function [[https://api.avolites.com/16.0/api/Timelines.ImportMarkers.html|Timelines.ImportMarkers]], however that would expect an XML object as importMappingVersion while this fuction here parses a string which is much easier to handle.

-> There is also an XML file included with the personality library (e.g. ''C:\Program Files\Avolites\Titan\FixtureLibrary\MarkerImportMapping.xml'') which includes multiple options that can be selected in the UI in the context menu. There is also the provision for a similar file to be in the user fixture library directory.

-> You should recognise the Version section as the bit being passed into the function. Perhaps if the string contained "Reaper", "Reaper:2020" or "reaper:1" it ought to be able to lookup the appropriate mapping from the library.
