Hi Jacob,
concerning align and move cursor sub menu. These commands both move the
selected tracks, and then move the cursor or selection by the same amount. This
results in the cursor/selection remaining in the same position relative to the
moved tracks.
Presumably this is useful in some cases, but I haven't as yet figured out which
ones.
David.

Subject: [audacity4blind] Querying/finding out current cursor position?
And, specifically mean editing cursor, not current
playback position?
This is now since while could easily enough - I
think in prior version of audacity, and not current 2.0.3 version take a
combination of the original soundtrack of a movie clip, along with then also
importing the narrated/described soundtrack into another audio track, and using
a combination of first turning selection on for only the original,
longer track, using enter key to toggle selections, then manually setting
selection start using [ key while not playing back as such to a point where
wanted to align start of narrated track to, then using edit menu, told it to
align cursor with start of selection, and would then turn off selection on that
audio track, move over to other, shorter, narrated one, turn on selection, and
tell it to align track position with cursor position, off track menu | align
tracks submenu, and could then just hit ctrl + A again, and test/try out new
alignment by hitting space bar to toggle playback of combination of tracks,
but,
it's now definitely not re-aligning/moving that track, and is just leaving it
sitting at 00:00:00.000, as if each time I turn off selection on initial track,
and turn it on for secondary track, it's sort of automatically re-aligning
cursor to follow selection start change, which doesn't seem to help, and just
in
case, I tried first removing jaws scripts, and then replacing them, etc., but,
no go/difference, either way.
In other words, would just prefer to be able to
make sure cursor has in fact been relocated before trying to realign second
track with it, and, am also wondering why there are two separate submenu's on
track menu:
align tracks
align and move cursor
And, they both have the same submenu items under
them, including something like move to cursor position - doesn't make sense to
align a track to a cursor position, and move cursor to somewhere it already
is..?
Anyway, really not sure why this isn't working like
it did before, and maybe will need to try uninstalling this latest version, and
sort of roll back to prior version, even if only to double check that it's not
just me who's forgotten something else needed to do to make this process work
easily enough last time...?
TIA for any thoughts/suggestions
