Rich, I did what you described and the track gets shortened. I also did
as Robert suggested and trimmed and that also worked. I am at a loss to
work out why it won't shorten for you. You mentioned that you assume
you are at the 100 millisecond position. Pressing left bracket again
should confirm that. I can testify that 100 milliseconds of a sine wave
is a very short blip.

I might be confused, but, I would just use something like home to setThe audacity4blind web site is at
cursor position/selection to beginning of track, then shift + end to
select to end of track, and, then use [ to bring up the start of
selection dialogue, set it to 100 milliseconds, and then use delete key
to wipe out that part?
Stay well

Hi, although I have extensive experience with Audacity, this issue is
vexing me:
I record a very short track, maybe one second
I want to shorten it to let's say 100 milliseconds
I press the left square bracket for the time-set interface and set the
time to 100 milliseconds, and press OK
I assume now that the cursor is at the 100 milliseconds point
I make sure the track is selected
I press Shift k to select from the 100-millisecond cursor point to the
end
I press the delete key
The track does not get shortened, it is the same full length
What am I doing wrong here and how do I shorten the track to 100
milliseconds?
