[RWP] Reaper Glitch?

[Indigo]

Hi David,
Yes, I will make a habit of saving work.
I looked at my folder where Reaper has auto saved, and; unfortunately; 
found no file ending with .mid.
I've googled the term "lock" and it seems to mean that you could lock a 
number of items so they couldn't be thrown out of alignment by 
accidental mouse moves, but found nothing so far indicating that 
individual items can be locked to prevent either moving or deleting.
That feature is found in several daws, and has been requested for 
several years now in Cockos feature request forum.

Thanks,
Indi
