Hi Ron,
sorry to hear that it's not doing what you expect.
This is what should happen:
1. If you press ctrl+2 for zoom normal, then the step size is set to
slightly more than one hundredth of a second.
2. pressing ctrl+3 for zoom out, doubles the step size.
3. pressing ctrl+1 for zoom in, halves the step size.
So if you press ctrl+2 once, followed by ctrl+3 three times, this should
set the step size to just less than a tenth of a second (slightly more
than one hundredth of a second times 8).
When you open or import a file, the zoom level is often automatically
changed to display the audio optimally for sighted users. So once you've
set the zoom level, and hence the step size to what you want, you don't
have to reset it again, unless you open or import some more audio.
David.

Hi David.
Thanks for that. I decided in the end to reduce the step sizes, as the
Zoom
function doesn't appear to do anything that makes any sense to me.
Regards.

Hi Ron,
in addition to Jacob's suggestions, you can also create a small time
range
by pressing shift+right arrow. When using the arrow keys to move the
cursor, or shift + arrow keys and shift + ctrl + arrow keys to create or
modify a selected time range, then the step size is determined by the
zoom
setting.
You can set the step size to just less than a tenth of a second by
pressing ctrl+2 to set the zoom to normal, and then pressing ctrl+3 three
times to zoom out three times. So with this zoom setting, you can move
the
cursor to where you want the start of the time range, and then press
shift+right arrow to set the end of the time range. You'll then have a
selected time range of just less than a tenth of a second.
David.

Hi All.
When I delete part of a track I use "[" and "]" to
mark the beginning and end of what I am cutting out. Usually this is
more
than a few seconds of the track so I have time to perform the
relevant key strokes.
How can you delete even smaller segments like a
10th or less of a second?
Really appreciate any advice or
suggestions.
Regards.
