Multi Markers:

Number of markers: set the number of markers you want on the curve. These markers will be placed
at the same distance between each other, and each of them will cover an equal part of the curve
Percentage of length: the length of the markers will depends from this value. With 100% the
markers will cover all their parts of curve, with 50% they will cover half of it, and so on
Percentage from start: use this value to move all the markers along the curve from the start of
their part of curve (0%) till the end (100%)

Marker properties:

Markers Height: set the size of the marker
Offset distance: set the distance from the target curve you want to place the markers
Bind markers on curve (shortcut: R): check it to force the marker to stay with one side on the target curve
Changing either the height or the offset will modify the other value consequently
Flip offset (shortcut: T): use the flip button or press T to choose the side of the offset
Cap size: set the size of the cap of the marker geometry
Flip cap (shortcut: E): use the flip button or press E to choose the side you want the cap to be placed on
