i accidentally inserted 200 extra measures in a project.  i tried to delete them, but the project still shows those un-used measures.
 
how do i delete those measures at the end?
 

How did you try to delete them?

Can't you set the Now Time From to where you want to really have the end on that track, and then set the Now Time Through time to go through the end, then cut or delete?

I suppose an alternative would be to drag to shorten - it's just a lot of dragging.

Sorry if I'm misunderstanding yor question, is it that you want to delete measures at the end of a project, or in the middle?
 
If you highlight the bars, then choose EDIT - DLETE SPECIAL  form the project menu, make sure "Delete Hole" is checked,  will that not do It?
 
Sorry if I've not understood your post properly.

i highlighted all the empty measures at the end, then delete/delete hole.  still, all those empty measures still show up when i open the project.

How do they show up?  does the project still play through them?

the project does keep going on through the empty measures past the intended end.

Do you have the stop at project end box checked under Options in the Track View?

Bob Bone

Please forgive me for this stupid question - did you save after deleting the measures?

And, when you DID delete them, did they go away, and then come back after reload?

I apologize for even asking the first one,

i now have the stop at end checked.  and yes, deleted, saved, closed, re-opened, and the project keeps running.  is there a marker or something to set the end of a project so it stops?

Sorry to sound stupid, but don't know what to suggest now.  This does ring a bell with projects I've worked on before, but not in my studio and am now off to bed.
 
Will have a look tomorrow.  I hope someone else pops in to sort this before then.
