Can't move envelope tool control points at end of track

Audacity 3 Help Forum macOS
1

I’ve attached a video that shows the issue. If I create a control point in the middle of the track, I can move it without any issues. However, I want to make the end of the track gradually quieter using the envelope tool. As soon as I try to do that by moving the control point to the end of the track, I can no longer move it.

Is there something I’m missing?

Which version of macOS?
Which version of Audacity? (look in “Audacity menu > About Audacity”)

You’re too quick Steve. :slight_smile: I was about to edit my post but I couldn’t find a way to do so…

macOS 10.14.1
Audacity 2.3.0

To “grab” a point with the mouse, click slightly to the left of the point that you want to move.

Thanks! It would be good if there was a note about this on this page:

https://manual.audacityteam.org/man/envelope_tool.html

Maybe I’ll submit a pull request on GitHub.

Hmm, do you know where the documentation is located in the repository? I can’t find the docs for the Envelope Tool by searching through GitHub.

The manual is written on a wiki rather than on GitHub.

I’ve added a short section about editing (moving) control points in the “alpha” manual (this will become the manual for Audacity 2.3.1)

Thanks Steve!
