Audacity's terrific, but those incessant lines suck. I mean talk about unnecessary and annoying. I've wasted a lot of time having to start projects completely from scratch.
Is there a way to just turn this off?

Re: Removing vertical lines
What incessant vertical lines are you talking about? Do you have multiple clips on a track? If so, just select the entire track and choose Edit > Join - all the clips will be joined into one and the lines marking the clip boundaries will go away. And so will the ability to move individual clips.
Are the lines red? If so, you've got show clipping turned on. Go to View > Show Clipping and turn it off.
Oh, but you're in the 1.2.x forum. Are you sure you're using 1.2.5? The above only applies to 1.3.x.

For all other platforms, if the 1.2 version is required you should use 1.2.6
For modern computers the latest 1.3 version is a better option.
