I'm cutting 4 bars out of a tune. I used 'delete special', ticking delete hole, and whole measures. All 4 measures including automation and markers delete success fully. Except for in busses. Buss automation did not move forward 4 bars on any buss. I have a audio mess as such. Is this normal? What did I do wrong/ not do? Thanks

Not sure I'm good at this.  I run across these issues all the time, figure a solution, move on and forget how I did it...
 
Can you try copying the buss from the end of the 4 bars you want to delete to the end of the song,   then paste (replace old with new) starting back 4 measures?   That should do the trick.  That is how I'm forced to do it in Sibelious.   

You have directed me wisely. It worked, and I thank you, Jimbo!
