Placing dots in Volume automation (A-key) Garageband

Hi Fellow travellers! I am 78 and new in podcasting and In my first episode (featuring a pre-roll, an intro, an interview and an outro) I hit A for Automation, to regulate the volume of a music track before and after my Intro. However, only the first 4 dots appear and after that I do not manage to add more dots by hitting the mouse pad... Thanks for helping me out. :-) Yoyo
