Global time remove/close

[davidestevens]

Not sure what else to call this (it doesn't bring up anything in the manual), but what i want to do is to delete a chunk of time in the middle of an edit - ie delete everything between 2 markers, and then pull up everything else to close the gap. A global ripple edit, I guess.
There's a script which does "delete marked region (between I & O?) of selected clips and close", but I don't necessarily have clips on every track in the region I want to close, which appears to result in the clip-less tracks tracks not closing up. (Does that make sense?)
What I used to do in Cubase was to move clips that i wanted to keep out of the region, set the in and out markers to the region I wanted to close up and then run a global time delete command. Very simple. Not clear how to do this in Waveform.
thanks

Aha. Finally found it - Run Script/Standard shortcuts/Editing/Delete marked range and close gap.

You can use the Arranger track in W11PRO to do this kind of thing.

thanks! I had a look at the Arranger track a while back, thinking that it might be useful for trying out different arrangements of material, and I decided, from what I understood about it, that it would be more useful for pieces that are arranged in more-or-less fixed sized blocks/chunks (ie "songs"!), which is not at all the way I work. I mostly use long blocks of sound, of differing lengths, overlapping in various ways, which don't lend themselves to working in fixed chunks. Thanks for the pointer, though. Always something to learn... there are lots of ways of doing things in Waveform that don't exactly map to my experience of other (Mac) DAWs - probably a result of the app's origins and evolution (?).
