Hi Steve
I am not sure that I fully understand what you are trying to do, so
apologies if the following is off the mark. I assume you are using current
(2.2.2) or nearly current version of Audacity.
Pressing r the first time will start recording on a fresh track. Subsequent
presses of r will append to that track. I suspect what you want is shift-r,
which will start recording from the current position on a fresh track.
Therefore, if you have a song and you want to play your lead guitar at
various points, go to that point and press shift-r. Well, you probably want
to start a bit before to give yourself time to pick up the guitar. You can
replace any thumps and bumps while picking up the guitar with silence later.
I do not use JAWS, so cannot comment on what the scripts add. My
understanding, though, is that they add some convenience features. Others
can comment further on the JAWS scripts. One of the things I particularly
like about Audacity is that it can be used with a screen reader without
having to add extras.

Subject: [audacity4blind] append record
I'm doing a project, and it is going well. However I'm not a good lead
guitar player and have to append to my lead track every verse. Can someone
tell me how to use the append record mode with jaws? Do you have to have the
scripts for this? I've been looking for a hot key for this with no success.
Thanks so much in advance. Digital recording is so exciting for me after
recording on reel to reel. No white noise, yae.
Steve
