adjusting start/finish

How can I make fine adjustments to the start or finish time of a selection? Cursor always snaps to nearest full second, but I sometimes need fractions of a second.

uncheck the snap-to box at the bottom left of your Audacity window.

Thanks: never quite understood what that box did: got the hang of it now.
