Hi everybody! Does anyone know how to delete measures in X3? I can add measures, but as per the help files online, the only way to delete (empty) measures is to reselect everything following the measures and slide, which is a MASSIVE headache when I'm dealing with 40+ tracks of audio, MIDI, and envelopes. 

Adding measures is so simple... surely there's a method to remove them that's just as simple?

A way I use the most is to click on any track to highlight it. Then Control A, that selects all tracks.

Under the Edit menu you can click Select By Time. Enter in a start and end time (even half measures) click OK.

Now you have all the tracks and the time range selected. Control Alt X is delete special. This allows you to decide if you want to move the markers or just delete the block of time.

You can also select the time range from the Control Bar's Selection module which is quite convenient. It's easy from that to type in your time ranges, or to select between markers, etc.   I tend to use Select By Time quite often.

Yep, use Delete Special but be sure to check "Delete Hole"
 
Note: there MUST be data "in the hole" to delete.

ooooo, really smart workaround! Thanks, guys! Kinda bummed that there isn't an option for this, but this seems pretty painless. 

Thanks!
