How to move (fine-tune) a track along a timeline?

Hi,

I know that you need to use the timeshift tool to move a track along a timeline. But how do I fine-tune it? Like I just want to move it very slightly to the right or left but the timeshift tool moves it too much.

Thanks.

Zoom in (http://manual.audacityteam.org/man/zooming.html) one one or other end of the clip that you want to move, then use the Time Shift tool. (I generally find that "Ctrl + Mouse wheel" is the fastest way to zoom in and out.)
