Greetings, Sorry this is so late but have been suffering email and pc problems for the last few weeks and only just seen your post.
I am using GW V5.70 but what I write applies equally to your version. 1. To enable jumping in small increments, you need to set the zoom level. When GW opens a file, normally the screen shows in visual form the whole length, hence moving markers / arrows, moves a percentage of the whole file. In GW, go to the view menu, ensure scrollock (ctrl l) is checked, this enables arrow / marker movements. Go down the menu, you will find loads of zoom-related entries, zoom in is shift up, zoom out shift down, then there are several presets, such as zoom to ten seconds, zoom to one secont . . . what these mean is only the specified length of the file is shown on the screen hence the arrow / marker values are appropriately changed. I mostly tend to set my zoom rate at one second, which is alt with one. To help, you may care also to set the edit field in the play tab, this follows the rewind/wind forward settings and, certainly in versions before any of the V6 ones, by default is set to 0.00, I have mine set to 0.15, which means whenever I move a marker or arrow, I hear fifteen hundredths of the zoom value, in most cases this is adequate for my editting and setting this field increases both accuracy and speed of complex edits and use of other effects. 2. The three play controls are intended to be used to access the file in different ways. I have mine set as follows which gives me all the flexibility I could desire. Play1, executed by F2 is set to play all, meaning it starts at the beginning of the file. Play2, executed by F3, I have set to play selection, meaning I play anything between start and end marker. Play3, executed by F4 which, in versions below 6 is not set by default, I have set to play view, meaning it plays whatever is showing on the screen. These can be set in the play tab of control properties. When GW first opens the file all these play controls start at the beginning and play the file in it's entirity, their action is, thus, ruled by your settings of zoom, you can, therefore, see how important setting the best zoom rate for your needs is of the utmost importance. Late though I am, hope the above explanations prove to be useful and if I can assist further, having used GW in it's various forms since 2006, please get in touch.
