Hi Cuong, If a time range is selected, then either pressing right arrow or using the edit menu to move the cursor to the end of the selection both do the same thing. So you don't have to do both. Note that the use of left arrow or right arrow if you have a time range selected is exactly the same behaviour as when you have selected text in a text document. In this case right arrow deselects the text, and positions the cursor at the end of the previously selected text. David. ________________________________ From: Dang Manh Cuong <dangmanhcuong@xxxxxxxxx> To: audacity4blind@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Wednesday, 29 August 2012, 14:34 Subject: [audacity4blind] Re: Moving Square Brackets Along a Sound File Hi Rich You can do this tips combine with the answer from David. After exporting your first songs, press the right arrow key to deselect any time range Now go to edit menu (Alt+e), up arrow afiew time to find "Move cursor". Right arrow to open this sub menu, and choose "to selection end" Now your cursor should be move to the point that you set to end selection of your first song Press the [ key to set left selection boundary at this point, and play untill you find the end of your second song. For instance, I suggest you add hotkeys for moving to start or end selection.

You press left square bracket and space bar at the beginning of the first song and right square bracket and space at the end of the first song. You have now selected that song and can export it into an MP3 file. How can you then move those brackets to the next song for exporting without starting from the beginning of the entire file? I tried following the manual on this, but I could not get it to work. >> >> -- Rich De Steno >> >> >> The audacity4blind web site is at >> //www.freelists.org/webpage/audacity4blind >> >> Subscribe and unsubscribe information, message archives, >> Audacity keyboard commands, and more... >> >> To unsubscribe from audacity4blind, send an email to >> audacity4blind-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx >> with subject line >> unsubscribe >> >> The audacity4blind web site is at >> //www.freelists.org/webpage/audacity4blind >> >> Subscribe and unsubscribe information, message archives, >> Audacity keyboard commands, and more... >> >> To unsubscribe from audacity4blind, send an email to >> audacity4blind-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx >> with subject line >> unsubscribe >> >> > > >The audacity4blind web site is at >//www.freelists.org/webpage/audacity4blind > >Subscribe and unsubscribe information, message archives, >Audacity keyboard commands, and more... > >To unsubscribe from audacity4blind, send an email to >audacity4blind-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx >with subject line >unsubscribe > >The audacity4blind web site is at >//www.freelists.org/webpage/audacity4blind > >Subscribe and unsubscribe information, message archives, >Audacity keyboard commands, and more... > >To unsubscribe from audacity4blind, send an email to >audacity4blind-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx >with subject line >unsubscribe > ________________ Dang Manh Cuong HCMC University of Pedagogy: The Psychology and education Mobile: +84 902-572-300 E-mail: dangmanhcuong@xxxxxxxxx Yahoo!
