Go to

You can use these commands to move the cursor to specific locations.

If you would like to jump to a prescribed position choose Go to new position (G) and type in a new cursor coordinate: sample number (if the time axis is calibrated in samples) or time (if the axis is calibrated in units of time). In order to change the method of calibration check or uncheck the Time scale in seconds box in the Preferences dialog available from the Options menu.

Time can be specified in two different ways - by giving a number of hours, minutes and seconds separated by colons (a digital clock notation) or seconds only. This means you can write either 1:06:40.25 or 4000.25, whichever is more convenient - DART XP Pro will accept both notations.

Apart from fixing an absolute position of the cursor you can set its relative position within the soundfile, i.e. position expressed as a percentage of the overall file length. To achieve this, enter a positive number smaller than 100.0 and follow it with the percent sign, e.g. write 27.5%. Relative positioning can be used in a very similar way as clicking on the overview strip; it works irrespective of the adopted method of axis calibration.

In order to set the cursor at the beginning of the distinguished area (block) choose Go to beginning of the block or press F11; to move it to the end of the block choose Go to end of the block or press F12.

To move cursor to a given marker or click marker choose Go to new position (G) and type in ‘m’ followed by the marker label, e.g., ‘m1’ will move the cursor to the marker labeled 1 and ‘mb’ will move it to the click marker labeled B. To move cursor to the next or previous marker use the Go to next/previous marker command or press the > or < key, respectively.
