Hi Ray, I'll mention your suggestion about smaller increments to the Audacity developers - they're far too big at the moment. There is however a rather ugly work around for this. If you move to the playback speed slider, route the Jaws cursor to the pc cursor and double left click, then a

thanks much I'll play with that ugly work around. Possibly a spin box or combo box to select those increments would be less ugly. - Original Message - From: David Bailes david_bai...@yahoo.co.uk To: pc-audio@pc-audio.org Sent: Thursday, April 09, 2009 19:08 Subject: Re: selecting

Hi Ray, Assuming that you've turned off the option to select all if non sekected, as described in the guide, then one or more tracks and a time range have to be selected to select a portion of audio. When you first open audacity, the focus should be the track table, so to move to the spin
