"Split equals Point Label"? Not sure what you mean by that. I was trying to remove some Point Labels, I did not know what Splits were but whatever they were I did not want to delete any of them! I would never have thought that a Split was a Point Label. I suspect that this is some common terminolog...

My personal desire would be for consistency. If linking is ON and I make a selection in one of the linked tracks then instigate an editing action I expect that action to affect both tracks. I also expect verbal consistency, why should I expect that Split equals Point Label? Now that I have been told...

I am in the process of e-mailing Al right now to get some clarification about this. After having played around with it and thought about it some, especially in the light of linking, I am wondering if this behavior is appropriate. Especially if the tracks are linked (and from the visual representatio...

I made a stab at adding this information to the manual. It probably needs to be reviewed and someone who has a stock Windows and default Audacity set up might want to add before and after pictures.

Edit->Split Delete does this. Great! All the manual has to say on this menu item is "Removes the selected audio without placing it on the clipboard, but does not shift the following audio. The preceding and following audio are now separate clips that can be moved independently." This does not seem ...

If anyone cares, here is the relevant code (put it at the end of Menus.cpp): void AudacityProject::OnRemoveSelectedLabels() { AudacityProject * activeProject = GetActiveProject(); wxBusyCursor busy; double selectionStart = activeProject->GetSel0(); double selectionEnd = activeProject->GetSel1(); Tra...

No, not what I want. It turned out to be only a few lines of code to add the ability to the program so I am OK.

Here is a simple example, I have an hour of audio with (non-region, point) labels at every 5 minutes. Linking is ON, but for the operation I could turn it OFF. I want to delete all labels between 21 minutes and 41 minutes (i.e. those at 25, 30, 35 and 40) and not move the other lables. If I turn lin...

Sorry about posting too many/big images. I will restrain myself, but a picture is worth almost as much storage space as it requires to host it. I agree with Steve's perception about needing visual chains in the white space of a wave track. After all, it is treated just like audio as far as selection...
