   The selected position of the start marker is shown to the right side of the button.

Tips

• You can reposition the start and end markers if necessary.
   
• Moreover, the markers can be moved forwards or backwards step by step in increments of 0.1 seconds. To do this, click the "-0,1 s" and "+0.1 s" buttons for the start and end marker.
  
   
• The button "Manual..." opens a dialogue in which the desired position can be entered using the keyboard.
  
  In some cases the marker cannot be set using the "Mark start" and "Mark end" buttons. A warning will appear. If this happens, enter the marker positions manually.
   
• The exact positions can be checked using the "Play from" button. Click this button to play the file from the start or end marker.
  
  
• The image indicates that you have changed the start or end marker.
