Erasing part of a performance (Erase)

This operation erases playback data from the specified area. If this operation is used to erase playback data, even if play- back data exists after the area that was erased, it will not be moved forward. To use the analogy of a tape recorder, this operation is like recording silence over an unwanted section of the tape.
