I'm a big believer in the locator window, and the fact that you can use it to sort by comment, by TC, or by locator color. This to me is one of the biggest advantages of the locator function in MC over those miserable FCP markers, which can't be added to media tracks except by double clicking segments, and then slide out of sync if you add them to the TC track. Ick!

We usually add our locators, sans comments. Then using the Locator Window we
enter our comments and often use the Locator Window to navigate between
different locators. The Locator Window is very convenient tool, but it seems
that a lot of people don't think of using it.
