By playing the track or using the Scrub tool, locate the space between "five" and
"six". Click in the time bar to drop the Current Time marker onto that space. Now,
click the Split button in the Tools panel. You've just split the single region into
two pieces, one containing the count 1-5, the other 6-10.
To better visualize what you've done, using the Hand tool, click in portion of the
track to the left of the split line and you'll see that half of the large region
highlighted. Similarly, clicking to the right of the split line will highlight that
portion. Note that each portion of the region now has the track name and take
number in its upper left corner. Congratulations! You've taken your first step
toward editing.
Now, each of those regions can be independently moved, copied, deleted, or cut up
into tiny pieces and spread over the pizza.

That crop job didn't leave us with much to work with, so let's put that region back
together again. From the Edit pulldown menu, select Undo Crop ("Crop" will
change from operation to operation to remind you of which operation you're about
to undo) or use the shortcut CTRL+Z. See? Non-destructive editing!

the first or last part of a region, but rather, a
chunk in the middle. Locate the counts "three,
four" in the first region. Using the I-Beam tool,
select that area of the region. Click Split. The
original region is severed at the start and end
points of the selection. Now, you've further
divided the original region into more, smaller
regions so that you have:
[1,2] [3,4] [5] [6,7,8,9,10]
Cropping is the reciprocal of
splitting. It's used to keep a
portion of a region and
discard the rest. With the
I-beam tool, select "Nine"
from the 6-10 region. Click
the Crop button or use the
shortcut CTRL+T;
