Yes the buttons are without function, and they are btw removed from next version.
That's sad. Are you giving up in making lmms a DAW?

You are talking about using audacity and lmms, what is it you are trying to do with both programs, exactly ?
Well, use them like a DAW:
Recording sound in sync with instruments and other already recorded sounds.
Editing, rearranging, mastering + exporting a combined sonic result of everything.
The soundrecording part seems to be Audacity's.
The question is, which would be an elegant workflow of interplay between both of them.

I would be very interested in getting some kind of review from you as a teacher, in respect to how the childrens usage of lmms
I'm not a teacher, but I'm giving audioart-workshops to children, mostly teenies, at schools once in a while. At the moment I'm planning new ideas, so am having a look at lmms, as it's CPU-lightweight (think of dusty schoolcomputers) and freely available:
Every child can go home with it's work and continue if it wants (as long there is at least a computer), or start off to other own ideas. There's no money-barrier, with the portable version no installation-hassle. I simply tell them: Copy ->this directory and you are ready to go on, wherever you are. Great.

Do they find lmms confusing or intuitively understandable?
Where are the learning curve steepest?
If you in a month or so, eg after intensive usage in class ...
This will take longer in my case. Before standing among children I need an excellent idea and some good practice with lmms
myself, so I can give a good advice concerning the howto (integrate soundrecording (Audacity) and instrument&sounddata-playback (lmms) most smoothly)!
And that's what for I'm looking here too.
So I appreciate every help with hints to my questions.
Isn't there anybody experienced with this?
Recording a strummed guitar to a rhythm-track and getting good timing, the easiest way?
Best regards
