Adjusting a word

From the KPro 4.0 manual:

Click the Adjust Play button - This will play across the selected word(s) area, redrawing the word highlighting with the music. If the Loop check box is enabled, it will repeat playing across the same area automatically until you press the N key or click the Stop (Adjust Play) button.

Adjust the word sync - While Adjust playing, press the < key (or click the < button) to make the selected word(s) highlight sooner, or press the > key (or click the > button) to make them highlight later. If you have loop play enabled, your next play pass will show your changes to the highlighting. Press and hold the Ctrl key to adjust the end of the highlighting with the < and > keys. Pressing the < or > keys or Ctrl key with them moves the selected word(s) even while NOT Adjust Playing.

I guess I understand what to do, so I am having a hard time not understanding where it is not clear.

Keep in mind that NORMALLY IN A SONG, the highlight flows from one word to the next with no pause. We have tried to make this happen as best we could in 4.008. When you adjust the start of a selected word (by pressing the < key while Audition playing, or while not playing), it moves that word to start highlighting sooner. Pressing the > key moves it to start highlighting later. The prior word's highlighting is also adjusted so the continuous flow is not halted.

Now, if you move the end highlighting of a word (by pressing the Ctrl and < or > keys), by moving it to the left (highlight ends sooner), you do DECOUPLE it from the next word and create a silence or pause gap in the highlighting (does not affect the music). If you move it to the right (highlight ends later), it automatically adjusts when the next word starts highlighting (it is delayed or starts later).

These adjustments can be done whether you are playing or not.

You can control how much "distance" in time each < or > key or button press moves the highlight. The control for how much to move is found in the Advance dialog box, viewable by clicking the Advanced... button in the Adjust Lyrics screen. It is the Adjust amount: field at the bottom right. You can adjust as low as 0.01 seconds (10 millisconds) per < or > key press. Do you need to adjust finer than that? Let me know as we could make the field 0.001 resolution.

Please post back here if this helped or not, or if I missed your question altogether.
