Hmm, didn't even know about the "Cut and close" operation ... > All real manipulation of measures is done in the main window through > segment editing. Yes, I was thinking that the original poster could split the segment before (and after) the empty measures he wants to get rid of, delete the segment containing the empty measures, move the second segment up to abut the first, then join the two segments? I think the original poster's problem is what I've seen when recording into RG from my MIDI keyboard. Note durations come in fine (locked to as performed). But if I start editing the notes, moving them around, things sometimes get weird and rests start spontaneously appearing where they weren't before.

I think the old SongWrite I used to use on Windows had the same problem. I blame it on the "absolute time" idea. Sometimes I think that if each "note" consisted only of a unique ID #, pitch, duration, and the unique ID # _of the note that follows it_, there'd be less of this problem. -- David gn...@hawaii.rr.com authenticity, honesty, community http://clanjones.org/david/ http://dancing-treefrog.deviantart.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ How fast is your code? 3 out of 4 devs don\\\'t know how their code performs in production.
