?????????????

The "rubber-band jaggies" you see at the fades are a screen artifact

only - don't worry about them (and you would not be able to hear

level changes of that order, anyway...). For shifting levels over a

long period of time (with P-6...), select the "level-shift" tool and

apply it anywhere along the rubber band to be changed (hold the

"alt" key to get levels and change-amounts). If you accidentally

get the rubber-band out of level, run it to the bottom with the

level-change tool, let go, then run it back up to the level you want...

BTW, I find it easier to just get in there and do all my editing on

the timeline itself (using a full-size preview window instead of

that silly dual-tiny-window arrangement), using a mouse on the

timeline instead of "short-cuts". This is easier for me, and more

intuitive for new users (see: www.David-Ruether-Photography.com/premiere.htm).
