Oh! thanks so much, I was using the wrong brackets!! I can now delete audio at the right of the right bracket if I hit shift+end. But I still can't manage to delete audio to the left of a cursor. I have tried inserting a left or right bracket, pressing shift+home and then delete, but nothing. Oh well. bJ On 15/07/2013, Thomas <mrnoisy98@xxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > You want a left bracket and right brackets.
