Is there a way to change the length of the audio on chapter menus?

Under the "playback mode" of the create disc tab there is a setting for duration but this only seems to change how long the audio is for the top menu. I cant figure out how to change the audio length for any of the menus below the top one.

Thanks. I7 920, GTX 560ti, Win 7 64bit.

Nate,
To the best of my knowledge, the answer is no.
(I hope someone can prove me wrong.)

Update: menus with thumbnails will only run for 15 secs tops, then repeat.
(I'm only talking about 'HD' menus as that is all I burn)

Hi Nate

If it's increasing the length of the thumbnail and the music associated with the background menu then in the Create Disc Mode:

1. Click 'set background music' (bottom right under preview screen).

2. Add your audio file.

3. A 'Select Menu Background Music' box appears.

Here is where you can adjust/trim the music length.
