Perhaps I've missed this in the manual or somewhere.
After splitting a clip, assume that I decide that it needs to move. I'd like to move that splice while retaining the position of the underlying material.
Is this possible?
Move butt-splices while underlying material is unmoved?

sadly not 
this is one major edit-workflow-stopper for me.
there really is a need for a more elegant split/crossfade workflow.
i wrote a thorough report about that years ago, with many examples and suggestions.
i still have hope, even after this long time .. we'll see ...

Isn't this exactly what the slip edit drag button on audio clips is for?
Select a clip and then drag the [] (hollow square) button. That keeps the content still but moves the start and end.

Imagine that I created a split (/ default key). But later I realize I want it somewhere else. I want to move the right side of the leftmost clip, and the left side of the rightmost clip together.
I use this functionality a lot in other products when fine tuning edits.
Overlapping clips works ok sometimes, but the start/end of the clips is often important and overlapping clips does not adjust those properly.
If you're doing a lot of editing overdubs, dropping in of samples, manual drum replacement, cleanup work, editing dialogue pacing, vocal timing adjustment etc... then overlapping clips just isn't effective.

No, this isn't currently possible as editing clip edges is done with the buttons over the clips so we don't really have a way to signify that you're moving the edges of two clips at once.
This has come up a few times though so we might have a look at an elegant way to add this.

Thank you for considering it.dRowAudio wrote:No, this isn't currently possible as editing clip edges is done with the buttons over the clips so we don't really have a way to signify that you're moving the edges of two clips at once.

I would ask as well that things like stretch work with this new feature as well.

it might be possible to create a keystroke macro that finds and moves the edge of the adjacent (or already overlapping) clip after we have moved the edge of the first/left clip.
