[Rwp] A Basic Question about Ripple Editing

[theoreomonster at reaperaccess.com]

Oh and to answer the other question since i forgot to. I think ripple is only tied to deleting/removing. So thats why when ou changed the  length of th item  it didn’t move up the stuff until you deleted the blank space after changing the item length. Also  there is a remove items moving later content action you may want to assign to a hot key as its quicker than turning ripple on and off if you want to do a ripple all tracks.  If you want to use ripple on just the selected track you still have to toggle that state as the   “remove item moving later content” action seems to only work across all tracks.
