Deleting a portion of a performance (Cut)

This operation cuts playback data from the specified area. When playback data is cut using this operation, any play- back data following the data that was cut will move for- ward to fill the gap. To use the analogy of a tape recorder, this operation is like cutting an unwanted portion out of an audio tape, and splicing the ends.
