Tools

The following editing tools are provided. You can use shortcuts or menu items under Edit -> Tools to switch tools, or toggle the toolbox by menu View -> Show Toolbox.

Cursor

The normal cursor tool to drag parameter controllers.

Scissors

Cut the entry into two parts by your click position. This is typically used in the Multi-entry editing mode to create new labels.

By default, when you click on a valid position with the scissors:

1. Audio of the first part after cutting is played so that you can confirm the phoneme
2. An input box is shown in the editor to rename the first part
3. You can press Enter to confirm the input, or press Esc to cancel
4. If you move the cursor away from the clicked position, the input is confirmed as well
5. Cutting is conducted. The first one uses your input as its name, and the second one uses the original name
6. The editor goes to the first entry after cutting

In single-entry editing mode, the name input is requested in a dialog instead of in the editor.

These actions can be customized in Preferences -> Editor -> Scissors.

Pan

Or the hand tool. Drag on the editor to scroll the canvas.

• Left click: play the audio from the clicked position until the end of the audio

• Shift + left click: play the audio from the start of the file until the clicked position
