Your Macros are stored in simple text files. On Windows 10, the default location is: C:\Users\ <your user name> \AppData\Roaming\audacity\Macros\ (you need to close Audacity to update the Macro file to your latest version) Find your Macro file, and any .ny files that you are using, and attach them t...

I can see that it is possible to select a specific track, but can you retreive several tracks in the plugin, perhaps to an array and then use (sum track[1] track[2] ... *track* ) to play all tracks together with the currently selected track (or part of the track) I'm not sure what you mean.

the *selection* variable is using the selection from when before the script started. Yes, that's how it works. The "problem" is that Nyquist isn't really part of Audacity, it's a separate programming language that has been shoehorned into Audacity. When a Nyquist plug-in is launched, the ...

In Audacity, "markers" are called "Labels".
Labels are extremely versatile and have many uses.

In Audacity, you make a "Selection". How I usually do it (there's lots of possible variations, and as you get used to the program you will discover what works best for you): I have keyboard shortcuts set to the "Full" set of defaults, which makes step 5 easier (see: https://manua...
