Select the empty space with f 9 and f10, select all tracks and go to the delete dialog through the edit menu. Make sure the delete hole check box is checked, and press inter on the okay button. Maybe you have already done this though. I had a problem with setting from and through times once and had to reinstall CT, but that don't sound like the problem here. This is a strange one...

Annabelle, I haven't found the answer yet, but if I do, I'll let you know. I've even tried recording a little something on the 800 plus bars and then checked all check boxes in the delete menu and press space bar on OK. The strange thing is, the tune I recorded on the 800 plus bars is now following straight on from my project.right next to the end of my project. I thought I'd cracked it, , so I pressed alt enter to select track from start to end and when I pressed control enter, all the 891 bars 4 beats and 160 ticks was still there silent yet so present like a shark lurking in the... well I'm off to bed before I give myself computer nightmares lol.

How did you sort it out? What command did you press? I want to find this out, since I have some projects that have a large number of empty measures. I myself have tried CTRL+8, and I've tried the delete whole measures and shift by whole measures, but nothing changes. What am I forgetting? What am I doing wrong? I'm confused! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: ddots-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:ddots-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Steve Wicketts Sent: Sunday, June 05, 2011 2:49 PM To: ddots-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [ddots-l] Re: And there's all this space Man! Hi Gord and Dave, I've tried both cutting and deleting, for some reason it just doesn't want to go. I've managed to sort this problem out before on other projects, I'm not sure why this one is being so annoying. Thanks for getting back to me, this just maybe a corrupted project or should I say, a project that's been corrupted.

In the cut dialog, make sure that all the other options e.g. automation, tempo changes, markers, etc. are also checked, and make sure that the remove space or whatever that says is also checked. Gord From: Steve Wicketts Sent: Sunday, June 05, 2011 11:59 AM To: ddtots Subject: [ddots-l] And there's all this space Man! Hi All, I have a project that is 118 bars long, now the problem is if I press alt and enter to select from start to end, then control and enter to see how many bars there are? There's a staggering 891 bars, 4 beats and 160 ticks. I've tried selecting all tracks from 118 thru 891-4-160 then pressing delete. It didn't work, what am I doing wrong? Hope you can help.
