By moving the start and end points of Slices independently, you can create overlapping
Slices or gaps between Slices.
These default mouse actions are valid only if the SLICE and REMOVE buttons are disabled in
the edit tools (5). Enabling any of them provides alternative mouse controls described below.
(2) Zooming scroll bar
Click  the  main  part  of  the  scroll  bar  and  drag  your  mouse  horizontally  to  scroll  through  the
waveform  on  the  horizontal  axis  (time),  or  drag  it  vertically  to  zoom  in/out  on  this  time  axis.
You can also click the left or right handle of the scroll bar and drag it horizontally to zoom in/
out while keeping the opposite border of the display at a fix position in the waveform. Double-
