Abstract

Techniques for changing operations performed relative to digital signal data that represents a recording of a signal are provided. A digital signal data-editing program displays an ordered list of items. Each item in the list corresponds to one or more operations that a user has instructed the program to perform relative to the digital signal data. The order of the items in the list determines the order in which the operations corresponding to those items are performed relative to the digital signal data. In response to user input, the program may perform a change such as inserting a new item into the list, removing an existing item from the list, altering the order of one or more items in the list, etc. The program subsequently modifies the display of the list to reflect the change. The change may be performed without disturbing the last-ordered item in the list.
