[RWP] Reaper Quick Start

[Indigo]

okay, You press the letter M mother to set a marker at whatever point in 
a track you want.You can set up to 10 markers per track.
Press the 1 key on the top row of the qwerty keyboard to jump to marker 
01, 2 to jump to marker 02, etcetera, and the zero key to jump to marker 10

In training mode, I hear the letter C saying that it sets a marker near 
the cursor.
I think you can use that when you are scrubbing with the left/right 
arrow keys and hear that you are near where you want the marker to be.
The cursor moves along the track's time line as you scrub.
I haven't tried C for that, try it and let us know if C places a marker 
close to where you sstop scrubbing.
If you want to split the item at that point, press the letter s.
To do this, first select the track by arrowing up/down to the track.
Then select the item on that track with ctrl+shift+right arrow.
Note that there could be more than 1 item on that track, but you will 
hear the item number announced.
When you have selected the item you want; arrow to where you want to 
split that item, and hit S.
You now have an item to the left of where you split, and the remainder 
of the item to the right of where you split.
This is useful like if there's silence to delete, or other unwanted 
material.
You can select either of the split items with ctrl+shif+right/left 
arrow, then cut it to clipboard with ctrl+X, then paste it onto another 
track if you want.
Create a new track to paste an item onto with ctrl+T.
I have set markers and split items, but haven't nudged markers yet, but 
think you can nudge a marker left or right to get it exactly where you want.
Press F12 for learning mode, and check out comma and period, which I 
think nudge left or right.
Comma says time selection nudge left, and period says time selection 
nudge right.
The letter N nancy toggles the nudge set dialog for how much you want to 
nudge.
After pressing N press your tab key to hear the various nudge increments.
Somebody please correct or expand on this; as I have no experience in 
nudging markers.
