Hi Andrew,
Thank you so much for those ideas. I really like the period and comma ones.
Can’t wait to try them out in a little while! I’ll let you know how I make out!

Hi Judy
As Keith suggested, zooming will have an effect, but it rather an inexact
process. Here are some other options.
Pressing fullstop (.) gives a short jump right
Pressing comma (,) gives a short jump left
Shift-fullstop gives a long jump right
You’ve guessed it
Pressing shift-comma gives a long jump left
Length of short and long jumps are 1 and 15 seconds respectively by default.
You can adjust both under Playback in Preferences (control-p).
Another option is to use left and right brackets ([) and (]) when not playing.
That opens a dialog that lets you specify exactly the position to which you
want to jump.
The next one is easier to demonstrate than to explain, but see if this
computes. By pressing control-f6 you drop from the tracks panel to the
timeline toolbar (well, that’s what I call it. Begin and end values the same
as those presented by using left and right brackets are available. Having
tabbed to – say – the start dialog I usually press Home to make sure I at the
left edge and arrow right to the column I want to adjust. Up and down arrows
will change the position. If you are – say – on 3 minutes and up arrow three
times to 6 minutes and press spacebar you will jump to the new position. You
can even make adjustments while playing. Then toggle spacebar to get to the
new position.
If that has left you completely bamboozled, feel free to drop me an email
<mailto:access_tech@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> with a phone number or Skype name and I
can demonstrate. Include country code with phone number and, if applicable,
time zone.

Hi Keith,
Would you ever have time to walk me through the steps, maybe on the phone? I’m
totally brand new with Audacity, or any kind of editing program.
Thanks! Judy

Setting the zoom level can help with that.

Hi friends,
I have a 3 hour audio file, that is now a project, and I’m editing out unwanted
talking between songs, and so far I only know to do this by right arrowing, but
it only seems to move ahead by a few seconds at a time. How can I move it maybe
a minute at a time?
Thanks!
Judy
