I use "insert empty space at time selection". Just make a time selection from the point where you want to insert the empty space, for as many bars as you want to create. Example : You want 3 bars insert at bar 12. Starting at bar 12 drag your time selection out for 3 bars. Select "insert empty space at time selection" from "INSERT" menu. Done If you want empty space at the beginning of the song just make your time selection from bar 1 and drag it out the desired number of bars and then do the insert.(I do this often to create intro's after the bulk of a song is complete.) All items from the beginning of the time selection will be moved to the end of the time selection. Just try it to see how it works, you can always undo. You can also assign a shortcut to the action "Time Selection: Insert empty space at time selection (moving later items)" Hope that helps.
