By the way, Reaper uses "insert time".

I was hoping someone would broaden this to a music theory level and my instincts told me that there should be a name for this musical object. You're the man Dan, thanks for introducing "Stop-time" into my vocabulary smile

Here is a bold claim that I think might be correct.
Any musical element that one can detect in a piece a music will have a name or concept associated with it.

Is this true?

For me there’s no better place in the band than to have one leg in the harmony world and the other in the percussive. Thank you Paul Tutmarc and Leo Fender.
