Transcribe! Help : Scope (global vs. local)

The effect of things you do in Transcribe! can be global, transcription-wide, or view-specific.

Global options change the behaviour of the program Transcribe! globally irrespective of what transcription you are working on. Global options are saved between sessions as your preferences. Examples include :

• The size of the playback buffer (Preferences dialog)
• The colors used for markers (Marker options dialog)

Transcription-Wide edits change the content of the active transcription but do not affect other transcriptions. If you have multiple views of a single transcription on-screen then all these views will be affected. Transcription-wide edits are saved in the "XSC" transcription file. Examples include :

• Placement of markers
• Tuning adjustment (Options Tuning dialog)

View-Specific changes affect the active view only, without affecting other views of the same transcription. View-specific changes are not saved between sessions. Examples include :

• Playback speed and volume
• The current position and selection
