A few hours of editing later, I believe that J and L cuts cannot be created on the Cut page. With all respect, if true, that would be a major drawback.
Initially, prior to posting my question above, I was thinking that enabling "Audio Trim" together with "Audio Only" would allow trimming embedded sound. But, it didn't work. Now, I found that when creating those cuts on the Edit page, they are not shown on the Cut page. A smart-insert or ripple-overwrite, splits the sound in pieces, without visualisation.
Perhaps, there's room for a feature request:
I suggest implementing the ability to create J and L cuts on embedded (or locked) sound on the Cut page.
This could be controlled by enabling "Audio Trim" together with "Audio Only".
The moved cut on the audio track should be visible after leaving the trim mode.
The functions "smart-insert" and "ripple-overwrite" should undo the changes on the audio tracks of the adjacent clips (the clips the J and/or L cuts overlap into). Perhaps, that's most easily done by restoring the sound of the adjacent clip to the full length of the video.
Hope that makes sense and thanks for reading it.
