Audacity Forum

Good afternoon,

Is there a named pipe script command for just moving the cursor to a certain ms time position?

The closest I can find is "Select" which while it works, it actually does select the portion of the audio file specified.

The functionality I am looking forward is more like a seek, where the cursor is moved to that position, but WITHOUT selecting the rest of the track, but it is in a position to begin playing.

You mean like in Final Cut where you type...
+20000 [enter]

...and the cursor moves forward two minutes (two minutes, no seconds and no frames)?

Not that I know of.

What happens if you set StartTime and EndTime to the same value?

I'm not sure if this is what you mean:

1) Press the Home key (cursor moves to the start)
2) Press the "[" key (a "Left Position" window pops up)
3) Enter the required time.
4) Press "Enter" or click the "OK" button.

Thanks Bill. I realised that after I saw the "Ding Ding" post.
