That is a terrific tip, with one problem that I have encountered.
markers do not slide properly when using the insert space command.
This may be dependent on a few things, but this is what I have observed:
If the project settings accessed via [alt]+[enter] are set to either option other than
Time (and perhaps time too - i haven't tested), then the markers are likely to move incorrectly. Tempo and Time-signature markers suffer more than regular markers. Here are the reproduction steps for anyone interested in confirming this bug:
**edit: even occurs when Settings set to timebase = Time
1. Create a new project; [alt]+[enter] set the Timebase for events to
Beats or
Beats, position, etc.. Set the tempo to 90bpm. Create 2 tracks and add an 11 measure empty item to one and new midi item to the other.
2. Add a marker [m] and a tempo/time-sig marker [shift]+[C] to measure 2 Change the tempo to 120bpm.
you will see a Tempo marker added to the start of the project that reflects the original tempo of 90 bpm)
3. Insert the same 2 types of markers at measure 4 and measure 5
4. Make the tempo at measure 4 = 60 bmp and at measure 5 200 bmp
tempos are not really important
5. Make a loop selection fro measure 1 to measure 11 and select
insert empty space in selection.
- one would expect to see the following: the measure 1 marker is shifted to measure 11, 2 moves to 12, measures 4 & 5 Markers shift to measures 14 and 15. Right? Wrong Try it and see, rather than 11, 12, 14, and 15, the markers (if your tempos matched the ones listed above) shift to: 9, 10, 12, and 13!
6. press undo [crtl]+[z]
time to do some more marker shifting tests
7. make a loop selection from 04.03.00 to 05.01.00 (it's length should read: 00.02.00 - exactly 1/2 measure)
8. select:
insert empty space in selection and check to see that your results are
NOT what we would expect them to be, ie Markers at 05.01.00, should be, but are not moved to 05.03.00 - rather they are moved to 06.01.00 (they are moved 1 full measure, even though we told Reapz to add only 1/2 measure of empty space.) The empty item and the midi item are split and moved properly and as expected. Now, without changing the loop selection, add the same 1/2 measure of empty space. The items again move 1/2 measure as expected. But the Markers do not move at all they remain at Measure 06.01.00 - the spot to which they were moved the first time (which was 1/2 measure too far); the spot that they should in fact be now... but there is something broken in this process... !!!
9. repeat step 6, twice (we are back at the beginning)
10. Split the first item at measure 2 & 5 and the second item at measure 4 & 5.
- Grab both items after measure 5 and slide their starts to measure 6.
- toggle the ripple edit to
all tracks
11. select item 1 between measure 2 and 4 and slide it back to measure 9. Notice: the marker that was on Measure 2.01.00 slid to the proper spots: 9.01.00, But the markers at 4.01.00 --> 12.02.33, and 5.01.00 --> 15.03.66!! this is not the desired nor predicted behaviour. Bad reaper sit! Staaaaay!
- Also not, that the tempo/time-sig markers completely ignored the ripple edit all tracks.
this concludes my test. I have tried this on 3 boxes ranging from crappy to OK in terms of performance. the same results on each. Is it a bug? We need proper confirmation!
thanks y'all

Open project two, and create a highlight from the start to the point you just noted in project one. Then right click on the highlight and choose [Insert empty space in selection] - this will push all the items in the project to the right, together with all the markers and automation. Save it perhaps under a new filename - say "project two extended". Now copy all the tracks as before, open project one, and paste the tracks in - the items in the tracks should all start after the end of the items in the original tracks. Save as "project three", close, and use the technique described earlier to copy the markers from "project two extended" into "project three" - they should end up after all the markers from the original project one, and should correspond to the right items from project two now appended after the items from project one.
