Hi,
Thanks for the suggestions. Okay, so how do I change from region labels to
point labels? Maybe I inadvertently set it to use region labels.

This mistake is easily made.
Let's say that all is selected, you then start playback and press x
(stop and set cursor). The result is that still everything is selected
apart from the portion that has just been played.
If you then use Control+B, a region label will be created. You could
instead use Control+M or just ensure that nothing is selected before
starting playback (Control+Alt+a or simply home or j).

Reverting the region labels back to point labels isn't that easy.
You could export the labels, remove the second time for each label in
a text editor and import the labels again.

Ah, never thought of that.  I always use labels that cover the length of the
song/item, which is why the issue has not arisen for me.  I cannot imagine
how using point labels would give a different result to what you are
getting.

Strange, I’ll paste it below:


Hello Robert,

They are indeed point labels. And yes, you are right! Thank you very much!

I checked and Audacity is exporting from the label to the end of the
project. However, I don't think it's a bug because I've recorded and
exported several albums successfully since updating to 2.4.1.

This seems to have started after I saved a copy of a project as Lossless. I
can't recall anything else that I changed or did differently.
