Thanks so much. I really was not angry; just frustrated and a feeling of being thwarted in my intention to make a perfect transcribed and split track. I am now exploring SMP (Song Master Pro) once again. That program is just super easy to use. The only problem I found with it last time around was the difficulty changing the chord designations when they were clearly wrong. Editing the chords seemed very bizarre or not even possible at time due to lack of right click editing controls. BUT, I am going to revisit that. A quick drag and drop split last night went so fast and the speed and looping controls were instant as was tempo, bar lines etc. Twill be a new adventure. Oy! smile
