HI, I use the playback metronome to find out if the measures are truly gone. I've tried your suggestions with Control-Delete, and they're still there. Thanks, though.

I have tried cutting, deleting, and using the Delete dialog with markers to get rid of this area of silence with no success. Any other things I can do? I really don't want all that silence at the end of the piece!! Stephanie
