Audacity: Keeping the label with the audio selection when you move it
Finally found out how to keep the label with an audio selection you want to copy or cut and move elsewhere. Once you determine the boundaries of the audio you want to move (could be with split marks or just eyeballing it), you have to highlight the adjacent area on the label track first and then move the cursor to include the audio as well. Then you can copy or cut, but not with keyboard shortcuts, only with the Audacity command menu or icons. You can then what you cut or copied to an audio/label track pair of the same type; but in order to paste them both, you have to create a highlighted area that includes the label and the audio track and paste in that. The area doesn't have to be the same size as what you are pasting.
