Well as far as I know the start / end markers and the cursor are
single units that are not aware of tracks and run through the absolute
project time range that is from 0 to the the end of the track that ends
the last.
I am not aware of the existence of multiple cursors and pairs of markers
and although I can see very good reasons to have them I guess for blind
people this would end up being extremely confusing and dangerous at the
end of the day.
By selecting tracks and using j and k keys you can easily move the
cursor to very well defined times on your project and placing the
markers where the cursor is can be performed by pressing [ and ] keys
while no audio is playing.
You just get used to that.

Hi Andrew,
Sorry for the confusion. I imported the two tracks.
I just tried, deleting something from one of my two tracks. That worked fine. The other track stayed untouched. I guess, what confused me was, that, everytime, I moved the marker to select something, it moved to that position in both tracks. No matter, if they are both selected or not.
None of the two tracks are synclocked. I only know, how to synclock all tracks at once. Is there a way, to only lock one track at a time?
Thanks
Steven

Hi Steven
Firstly, I suggest that you import both files rather than opening them if you did not do that. Secondly, the only way I can think of to get the behaviour your describe is to apply synclock to the tracks. You would know if that had happened because the screen reader would report that tracks are synclocked as you arrow up and down.
Are you finding that when you - say - delete something from the first track that the same amount of material is deleted from the second track or is it that when you play the selected audio that both tracks play? If information is being deleted from the second track, something weird is happening. If, however, the section of both tracks play, that is normal.
Keep us posted as to progress.

Subject: [audacity4blind] Editing only one of two tracks
Hello everyone,
I am not quite sure, how to start this. So, let me explain to you first, what I am planning to do.
I have some DVDs here with a TV-Show on it. Recently, I acquired an audio described version of that show, which is not included on the DVD itself. However, the duration of the audio described version and the DVD-Version does not match. I know, why that is, and I think, I know, what to edit, to make it match.
So, I extracted the original audio track from the DVD, and opened it, together with the audio described track in Audacity. My idea was, to use the original as a guide line, to match the described version with.
Now, my problem is, that, everytime, I select something in the described version, it also gets selected in the other track. Even though, the other track is definitely not selected.
My question is, is there a way, to lock one track, so the cursor works only on the one, that is selected?
Thanks in advance
Steven
