Hello Paul ! I am not sure if I got it but here I go : You can Trim/Crop the middle and it's history ... ... or open a new file and fill (paste) it with whatever you want ... Again and slower : Select the (let's say) final portion of your file , click Copy, now select what you want to shoot out to trash bascket, now hit Delete, now "the magic" , put your cursor in the end of that and hit Paste !!!!!!!!!! Ta Daaaaaa ! Be sure to activate the "Zero Crossing" thing first ...
