        <h1>Adding Labels To Timing Tracks</h1>
        <p>You may have seen people in videos double-click the timing track to add/edit the label between marks (the labels are for convenience, singing face lyrics, state effects, etc.)...</p>

        <p>...but when you do it the audio plays instead.</p>

	<p>There are two tricks you can use here:</p>
	<ol>
        <li>Hold down <i>shift</i> when double-clicking to get the label add box</li>
	<li>Change the <b>"Double Click Mode"</b> in <b>"Preferences"</b> so that editing the label is the default double-click behavior</li>
	</ol>
