one inch per second.

fits in the window.

all fit inside of the window (if possible).

the window.
Set Selection Format - lets you choose the formatting that is
displayed at the bottom of the window indicating the current selection
time. Options include film, video, and audio CD frames, seconds + samples,
or pure time. If you turn on Snap-To mode in the
Edit Menu, the selection will snap to the
frames or other quantization you have selected in this menu.
History... - Brings up the history window.
It shows all the actions you have performed during the current session,
including importing. The right-hand column shows the amount of hard disk
space your operations used. You can jump back and forth between editing
steps quite easily by simply clicking on the entries in the window, the
same as selecting Undo or Redo many times in a row. You can also discard
Undo history to save disk space.
The history window can be kept open while you work.
Plot Spectrum -
To use this feature, first select a region of audio from a single
track, then select "Plot Spectrum".
It opens up a window that
displays the Power Spectrum of the audio over that region, calculated
using the Fast Fourier Transform. The graph represents how much
energy is in each frequency. As you move the mouse over the display,
it shows you the nearest peak frequency.
This window can also display other common
functions that are calculated using the Fast Fourier Transform, including
three versions of the Autocorrelation function.
The Enhanced Autocorrelation function is very good at identifying the
pitch of a note.
