Hi Esther, Many thanks for the pointer to Amadeus Pro which I have now purchased. Initially I was overwhelmed by the User Guide which is very visually oriented. However the VoiceOver related guides which you directed me to as below were very helpful and I have now done my first audio editing of removing mistakes from my piano playing.
