Hi Robbie,
re: sum of length of tracks. I don't know of any automated way of doing this.
But you could find out the length of each track by moving the cursor to the end
of each track and reading its position, and then add the lengths using either
mental arithmetic or a spread sheet.
re: sound at the length of longer activities. If I set the option to beep on
completion of longer activities in the interface category of preferences, then
it doesn't make any sound whatsoever on my computer (audacity 2.0.1, windows 7
64 bit). Do you get a beep, and if so for what activities?
re: sync lock.
I don't think your understanding of sync lock is correct. Here's another
description:
For the purposes of sync locking, the tracks in a project are considered to
form one or more groups. This grouping is determined by the label tracks in the
project. If there are no label tracks, then there's just a single group.
If there are label tracks, then if a label track is followed by an audio track,
then the label track is the last track in the group, and the audio track is the
first track in the next group.
A track is sync locked if any of the tracks in its group are selected.
Currently there isn't a way of Jaws reading whether a track is sync locked.
David.

Subject: [audacity4blind] Track/project length, SyncLock and more
Hi!
I have a couple of questions.
Is there a way of determining the sum length of all tracks? In other words, how
long a project would be if all tracks were aligned end to end.
If I understand the SyncLock function correctly, it is supposed to effect only
those tracks which are selected when SyncLock is activated. According to the
manual those tracks should then display a SyncLock icon. I have two problems
here. First, no matter which tracks are selected at the time of activation,
SyncLock is applied to all tracks. Second, being blind I can't tell which
tracks have the SyncLock icon. Does anyone know of a way to have JAWS announce
this?
And here's a little item for the whishlist. I would like to be able to choose a
sound for the completion of longer activities. What with all the warning and
info sounds on a blind user's computer, the system beep just isn't distinctive
enough nor loud enough. Many other programs let you select your own sounds for
such purposes. Would that be possible for Audacity?
Cheers, Robbie
