You can make the slider track have some transparency, and put the tick marks beneath the slider in the timeline.
Trick is to select something from the track, such as just clicking on the Track Effects dropdown while the slider is selected. Then Ctrl-Enter to get to properties, and set some transparency for the track. It leaves the thumb transparency alone, so that it hides the tick marks when it is over them.
I added them manually using lines. You can use an image if you can find one with the correct scale. I just added some arrows on a slider today.
Just make sure you have the marks in the back (so they disappear when the slider goes over it) and make the slider is transparent so that the marks display.

David,
Thanks so much! I knew it was something simple.
I was trying to select the slider but the changes kept being made to the thumb! They sure do make it complicated to select just the slider.
Much appreciated.
Mike
Did you add the tic marks manually? Or is there a setting to turn on?
