How to delete measures in Sonar X3?

I must be missing something but for the life of me I can't figure out how to delete measures.  I want to delete the first 2 blank measures from a MIDI file (all tracks).  I've tried Edit / Cut and Cut Special but that does nothing.  What am I missing?
 
Thanks

Did that already...didn't work. 
1.  How do I selected 2 measure and include all tracks?
2.  How do I delete the selected 2 measures?

ok... I will give it a try.
 
Thanks

take a look at this thread.  in it is a nice solution to moving everything including markers, time signatures and the like.

Got it!  Just turns out that moving everything is the best way to delete the first few measures.

I can't believe I am still back here trying to accomplish this!  How does one delete measures?  Whether I want to delete 2 measures of all tracks at the beginning or 22 measures of all tracks in the middle, how is this done?  When I attempt to delete the measures even though all check boxes are checked in Delete Special after the measures/tracks are selected it just leaves a blank hole.

I did check out the link.  I did see the video.  Either I am not understanding it or it is not covering what I want to do which is simply delete measures (and everything in them).

lasso is simply left click and drag encompassing, 'lassoing' what it is you want to select, just like in the windows environment when you want to select something. there are known 'issues' with certain things in sonar regarding selection, cut/paste, delete hole etc, which when you know what to be on the look out for not doing, or doing, helps.
 
and by 'issues' i mean sometimes certain things are not achieved the way people may expect it to be, a lot get tripped up by copy/pasting, where the paste will end up anywhere but where they expect it to be, sometimes it's just not 'understanding' sonars 'ways', and other times it is purely and simply . . . um . . .  'issues'

Time you went to the Sonar Reference Guide.pdf and did the tutorials that will show you the basics.

Go to C:/Program Files/Cakewalk/Sonar X3/

Not sure how I am confusing you.  And no it should not delete a hole.  I've stated I want to DELETE X amount of measures and all content within those measures.  I don't want to leave a hole of empty measures.  I want the measures deleted. 
 
Not sure how much more clearer I can explain it.

There is a checkbox in the Delete Special dialog box which says "Delete Hole"
You should always tick this if, as in your case, you want the data you are keeping to "slide to the left" after delete.
 
But as mettelus has pointed out, it's a bit buggy and in order to work properly there MUST be data in the hole prior to deleting it.

like people have said, delete hole can be a little buggy. when i tried it out yesterday before posting, and again just now, i found that if it is audio tracks it seems to work fine, as expected, you delete the section with delete hole checked, it is deleted and the later parts slide over, but if it is midi data alone (as it seems is your case), or a selection of audio and midi data, the tracks with midi data will just delete the selection but leave the hole as you are experiencing, the audio tracks however will (should) work as expected. you can fix this easily enough by manual means and a little extra effort, although you shouldn't have to

Your first step is to select all tracks and cut the clips somewhere in the region without midi events you want to delete. If your song doesn't have any tempo changes, measure changes, or markers, you can select the clips to the right and drag them to the left.
 
If you need to move tempo changes etc as well, there are two options:
1. Select all, then press control to unselect the clips on the left. Cut the selected and paste it at measure 75.
2. Create a new clip with one long midi note from measure 75 to 91. Select the range from 75 to 91 on all tracks and use Delete Special with close hole active. (In the current version of Sonar, you need to copy the clip with the long note to all tracks, but I think this is not necessary in X3.)

So, I am obviously really really stupid!  or I am totally missing something.  I've selected all the tracks to the right of the empty measures and click on the timeline to move/drag the tracks over and .... nothing moves!

You don't click on the timeline to move/drag tracks, you click and drag directly on the tracks.
now maybe you can see why I said you were confusing me.
Im out.
 
Good luck.

if you select all the clips to the right of the space you cut out, clips, not really the tracks as such, with all them selected you should just be able to left click and drag
