Hi Vitor,
here are some notes on labels in Audacity which I've previously posted on this
list:
These are some rough notes on using labels in Audacity.
Label tracks can contain both cursor positions and selected time ranges which
have been given a label. Sighted users can use label tracks for creating
labels, moving between then, and editing them. Unfortunately, label tracks are
only partially accessible for users of screen readers. The main problems are
that the names of labels are not read by screen readers, and it's also very
easy to accidentally create labels if a label track is the focus. However users
of screen readers can use labels, if they only use the label track for creating
labels, and also move the focus away from the label track immediately after
creating a label. They can then use the Edit labels dialog to move to a label,
or edit them. Unfortunately the Edit labels dialog is only accessible on
Windows, not Mac or Linux. Creating labels, and using the Edit labels dialog
are described below.
Creating a label, not during playback.
1. Open the tracks menu, and choose Add label at selection (Ctrl+B). If there
isn't already a label track,
then one is automatically added to the project. The label track becomes the
focus.
2. Type in a name for the label, and press Enter.
3. Press up arrow so that an audio track is the focus, rather than the label
track.
Creating a label during playback.
1. Optionally press P to pause.
2. Open the tracks menu, and choose Add label at playback position (Ctrl+M). If
there isn't already a label track, then one is automatically added to the
project. The label track becomes the focus.
3. Type in a name for the label, and press Enter.
4. Press up arrow so that an audio track is the focus, rather than the label
track.
5. If you initially paused, then press P again to resume.
The Edit labels dialog.
This dialog can be used for moving to a label, and editing labels. To open the
dialog, open the tracks menu, and choose edit labels.
The dialog contains a Table, and a number of buttons.
The Table has four columns: Track, label, start time and end time. For each
label in the label track, there's a row in this table. You can navigate and if
necessary edit this table in a similar manner to the table in the metadata
editor. For example, you can press right arrow to move to the label column, and
then press down arrow to move through the names of the labels.
To move the cursor in the main window to a label position, move to that row in
the table, and press Enter to press the default OK button. The dialog closes,
and the cursor is moved to the position of the label.
If you want to remove a label, move to that row in the table, press Ctrl+Tab to
move to the first button after the table, Tab to the Remove button and press
it. Alternatively you can make use of the button's access key, and simply move
to the row in the table and press Alt+R.
If one of the cells in a row is the focus, then you can move to the first
button after the table by pressing Ctrl+Tab.
David.

Hi David and Mat:
First, sorry for the wrong information about markers. The fact is that i
changed some commands because i'm not using an us keyboard..
How can we jump between marks? For example, in Sound Forge we can set marks
in the gaps between songs of a tape, then with control right arrow, we can
skip jumping from marker to marker and pik up the audio right from the
beginning of a song. Is it possible in Audacity? Thank you

Hi Matt,
One way of putting a marker would be to make use of the fact that you can
press left bracket during recording as well as playback to move the cursor.
So, during the recording, when the tape flips, press left bracket. Then
after you've pressed spacebar to stop the recording, if you press spacebar
again it will play from the cursor position, which is where you pressed the
left bracket.
David.

Hay folks, can audacity insert marks?
I'd like to put a marker so when the tape flips over i can go back, and
delete the silence.
