Hi not sure that I can help since I use Cakewalk Pro and Sonar (Believe me I
prefer the old Cakewalk Pro to Sonar - maybe I;'m just a die hard - anyway:-
Assuming that some of the conventions are the same, and you are using
windows, I would try the following
Highlight the whole music using Control-Shift-5 (All three keys together -
the 5 is the Numeric Pad 5 not the 5 in the main keyboard area.
Then at the top where all the measures are numbered - select the beat you
want to remove. You may need to take the Snap to Grid off to do this well
The select EDIT > DELETE and a dialogue box should hopefully appear
Select all the options available and especially select delete hole
Click OK and the beat and all that is in it be deleted and everything else
slide into its place - HOWEVER
any notes that started before your selected area will still retain the same
length and will need to be trimmed - to do this select the track with the
note(s) for trimming - right click and select the PIANO ROLL view. Find the
note(s) that need shortening and shorten each note to the required length by
dragging the end of the note shorter.
There is another downside of DELETE HOLE. If a track starts after the
selected deleted area, I find that it will not slide and has to be done
individually.
Not sure if I have been any help. But I hope so.
Best wishes
Rod Mather
