More fiddling... opened the project again and went into Media page and deleted the raw audio there. Edit page then showed its multiple clips in red. Deleted first clip, OK. Deleted second clip, OK. Deleted 3rd clip - program abruptly exited with no error message
Something to do with the ripple edit?
OK... opened the project again, selected all the audio clips on the track, but
this time right clicked and chose "Delete Selected" (
instead of the delete key). PROGRAM DID NOT CRASH.
Saved the file, nervously getting on with work for now...
