Of course, these values are edit boxes and you can change them, I have mine set to 5, the maximum. To change how much the arrows / markers move, you need change the zoom rate. By default on opening the file, the whole is on the screen - least I believe this to be true though how a file of, say, seven hours can be shown I cannot guess. I've opened a file of 25 minutes, my view is one minutes' worth of file, by moving my start marker once it starting at 0.000, it now shows 0.600, again, shows 1.200, then 1.800 . . . the end marker moves back the same ratio. I change the zoom rate to show ten seconds, the markers move correspondingly less, starting at 0.000 one move with shift and right arrow the start now shows 0.100, then 0.200 . . . the arrow keys move the cursor back/forward in tenths of the zoom rate, I strongly suggest you envoke the scrub facility, about which I wrote at some length a few days ago - this is an edit box to the right of the two wind values and by default is set at 0.000 I have mine set at 0.150 which gives me enough sound for each movement of arrow / marker to aid with both finding my place and editting. I note nobody in their replies have mentioned this incredibly useful function, I cannot understand why it is not set on by default with, say 0.200 but it isn't. I played with values for a long time until I settled on 0.150 as being my favoured setting. __________ Information from ESET NOD32 Antivirus, version of virus signature database 12316 (20150926) __________ The message was checked by ESET NOD32 Antivirus. http://www.eset.com
