Stewpid question, how do you delete measures?

Post by BKK-OZ »

I added some measures that I now want to delete (at the begining of a sequence).

Can't see anything in the manual about it.

All help gratefully rec'd.

Therefore, physics is nothing but the laws of harmony of these strings. Chemistry is nothing but the melodies we can play on these strings. The universe is a symphony of strings and the mind of God… it is cosmic music resonating through 11 dimensional hyperspace.

SNIP, under the Edit Menu. I think it's Command J.

Actually, I guess it depends on the context. But for what you're asking--snip the measures and move everything forward into their place--the SNIP command works perfectly.

Thanx Shoshie, that works, sorta...

I get the measures out with that command but the references all stay the same (measure numbering is the same).

You see, I inserted some measures @ the beginning of this sequence, and they got numbered as -4, -3 etc,

Now I realise I don't need them, but when I cut them, the measure numbers are still starting @ -4, etc., but I want to start @ '0'.

Your help much appreciated. I'll give you that hug someday...

BK

Hi,
I'm not sure if this applies in DP4 (I'm still on DP3). If I'm understanding your question, the answer might be found in the "Chunks" Window where you can "set chunk start". Perhaps doing this after the "snip" will accomplish what I think you are after.
Good luck.

The trick is selecting a time range including the conductor track rather than measures in the editor. Then do the Command-J snip.
My spoken-word editing work involves doing this about 300 times a day.
