Sync-Locked Track Groups - Time Shifting
From Audacity Development Manual
Peter 22Feb13: WIP - working-title only - proper title to be decided later
Time shifting operations on Sync-Locked Track Groups
- Tracks > Align Tracks: All of the "Align Tracks" commands (with the exception of the "Align Tracks Together" command) will move all tracks in a group by the same amount, even if this means pushing the start(s) of some track(s) before zero on the timeline.
By its nature the Align Tracks Together command cannot respect sync-lock since its job is to align the selected tracks so they all start at the same point on the timeline.
- The Time Shift Tool: Using the Time Shift tool on any audio track in a Sync-Locked Track Group will cause all clips in all audio tracks, and the label track, to move. This is true even if none of the tracks are selected.
Examples of time shifting operations on Sync-Locked Track Groups
- :
Before Tracks > Align Tracks > Align with Cursor 
After Tracks > Align Tracks > Align with Cursor 
- Result: The selected track is moved so the start of the track aligns with the cursor. The Sync-Locked track moves by the same amount.
- The Time Shift Tool
Before time shifting the tracks 
After time shifting the tracks 
- Result: All the tracks move together.
