Deleting Empty Measures... SOLVED!!

Somehow one of my projects now has about 1000 empty measures after the end of the song.  Have no clue how they got there.  How do I delete empty measures in SPLAT???
 
EDIT...ALL my projects...all of them.

Go to the end of your 1000 measures and scan through all the tracks, There's gotta be some little piece of audio or MIDI data there that is causing it... could be just one note. Find and delete.

This is EZ as Pi(e) in Cubase.  SMH

Nope...nothing in the events list and, yup, scook, ol pal, that's what I tried at first but seems like you can't select empty measures for deletion.  Dern.

Maybe its an automation envelope that went rouge
 

automation envelopes don't wear makeup.
 
And there's no imported audio in the project.  But seems a shame you can't delete empty measures...don't ya thank??

Welp...Ripple Editing didn't work on it either...or at all.  Or I wasn't doing it right.  But I watched a YouTube video on how to use it so I'm pretty sure I was.  
 
Also...I found out it's not just that project but several projects that I pulled up after I got the new DAW up and running...and...maybe...just after I installed the new CfB.
I pulled up several older projects and they don't seem affected so that's good but there are three or four that are.
 
Again, no biggie as I can time select if and when I need to export...but...these projects have quite literally thousands of extra measures.  No foolin.
 

Check if there's any markers or any other events after the ending of the tune & delete them.

There were often situations where some piece of data got stuck at the end and it wasn't obvious how to delete it. At least for me, ripple editing fixed that issue once and for all. However I don't think that's what's happening there.
 
Cakewalk is not a program that restricts you to a specific song length. It doesn't know how long a song you plan to record. When you open a new project, I think it defaults to 1400 measures of so. However if you keep dragging the now time to the right, Cakewalk will happily add as many measures as you want.
 
Try this test and report back on the results. Open a project and select all (Ctrl+A). If the gray line in the time ruler ends before the thousands of measures, that's the expected behavior and it indicates that your project has no more data past where the gray line in the time ruler ends. If the gray line extends for thousands of measures, then there's an anomaly.
 
As to getting rid of everything past the end of the song, I don't see any practical reason to do that. All you need to concern yourself with are the measures that contain project data. I guess it would show you definitely that "the song ends HERE," but you could also drop a marker at the end and call it "Song End" if you're not sure where the song ends.

I have not seen that problem, but as it is in all of your projects I am wondering whether the issue exists in your default template (which you might have used to create all of the projects). Maybe the template got saved with the problem at some point without you realising?
 
If that is the case then you would have to fix the issue in the template and re-save it to avoid creating similar projects in future (assuming one of the methods above provides a fix).

Thanks for this, I'd not heard of ripple editing (I'm from X3) and was having trouble replicating X3's method for deleting extra measures I had inserted in songs where I'd highlight the measures to be deleted and do a delete with "delete hole" checked.
 
I'm searching for a document or thread that contains the changes between X3 and splat, if anyone has heard of one.
 
Thanks,

Glad you got it sorted out.
