Hi Diane, the keystrokes for adjusting a selected time range are: -To move the end of the selection to the right, so expanding the time range, press Shift + Right Arrow. -To move the end of the selection to the left, so contracting the time range, press Ctrl + Shift + Left Arrow. -To move the start of the selection to the right, so contracting the time range, press Ctrl + Shift + Right Arrow. -To move the start of the selection to the left, so expanding the time range, press Shift + Left Arrow. In the Jaws guide to Audacity, in the selecting audio section there's a sub section on adjusting a selected time range. It describes two methods: using the keystrokes given above, and using the selection controls on the selection bar.

This has the effect of decreasing or increasing the amount of audio selected by pressing shift-cursor-left or right. Press c to preview the cut or space bar to hear the selected audio. If you want to add or take off very small amounts press ctrl-1 a couple of times and use the select or unselect key strokes. If the intervals are still too large reverse your action and press ctrl-1 again to zoom in even further. Then try again.

Is there an accessible way to move the cursor by a fraction of a second and hear the results? I have been playing with Reaper, which is a paid editing program and it has a scrub feature which allows you to hear the audio as you move the arrow keys. Does Audacity have a similar feature? All help appreciated. Thanks.
