I have a long recording which I want to mark all the sound motifs for later reference.
How do I mark points while playing back so that I can jump between them (or find them easily) later?

Add a label track, and find the start of each leitmotif. Place your cursor at the beginning of the area you want, and press ctrl+alt+v or Edit>Paste Text To New Label. This will create a new label, and if there is any text in your clipboard it will be added. However, this must be saved as a .aup (audacity project), since labels serve no purpose to audio players, and increase load time and storage space, all other formats will strip away worthless data.

You missed the point about "while playing back" but your answer led me to the real answer which is "Ctrl+M". You can press it repeatedly and it creates empty labels in the label track. :-) Feb 10, 2017 at 10:54
