moving all annotations only works to the right
Hi, <br><br>Just want to add a little hint that might be useful. <br><br>I read in the manual and in the instructions you find here in the forum that you can move all annotations left or right by using Annotation - Shift all annotations and then entering a positive or negative value. Well, unfortunately that doesn't work, because negative numbers are not accepted by the most recent version(s) of ELAN. <br><br>The way to work around this is to use another option that now exists: position the Crosshair at the very end of the file, after all annotations, or at the very beginning, in front of all annotations, and then use the option Annotation - Shift - Annotations on All Tiers, left of Crosshair (or ...right of Crosshair respectively)! There you are allowed to enter a negative number.<br><br>Regards,<br>Claudia<br>
Re: moving all annotations only works to the right
Actually, Shift all annotations should work to the left as well as to the right. I just tested it and it seems to work correctly. E.g. with a document open I can shift all annotations to the right 5000 ms and then shift them back by entering -5000. Note that there is a constraint on shifting to the left: it is not possible to shift any annotation beyond the "point zero". Consequently, if there is an annotation on any tier starting at 0 ms, it is not possible to use a negative offset. If the annotation with the lowest begin time starts at 1500 ms, the shift value should be greater than (or equal to) -1500.
The same constraints apply to the other "shift annotations" functions.
