My project has a lot of empty spaces, i.e. vertical ranges with no events below them so I am using delete time (shift+Backspace) to remove them, however I can’t find an easy way to select the ‘exact’ range like you can using an actual event =select event then Ctrl+P sets the locators to then use shift+backspace.
Does any creative person have any tricks on how to select an exact range ‘between events’ please?
The Audio > Advanced >Detect Silence command should be helpful, as it allows you to use different detection thresholds. From the experience I have using it, it works quite well, if you are willing to play with the different Detection settings available in the window : it’s not easy to grasp, at first, when not used to it…
Doesn’t that only work on actual audio data? KenD wrote that there are no events at all.
Yep, it does and I am guessing that the material used is audio. Reading it again, I admit that I probably have mistaken what he really wants to do, but I continue to think that what he is talking about are audio events separated by ‘a lot of empty spaces’, but maybe it’s not the case. Beside this, the sequence :
…doesn’t make a lot of sense to me, as ctrl+P opens the pool window, here, the actual Set locators to selection range shortcut being simply P and I don’t remember having changed both of them. Additionaly, an audio event has not necessarily a corresponding audio file.
So, what I understand now, and seeing that the Delete time command is evoked, is that he is actually looking for a kind of ‘Close gap’ tool that would shift all the events positions of a given track, so they would end up as being contiguous.
All this said, and maybe I’m missing something, but I don’t think that there is such a tool in Cubase, and I don’t see how a macro/PLE process could do that… 
EDIT - Will continue to look at this, but in the meantime, activating the Snap feature, and using the Snap type as ‘Events’ helps lot to move a selected event to the end of the previous one, closing exactly the empty ‘range’ between them. This can work for a whole set of events selected on the right : they all move together…
Haven’t tested this out, but I think a macro would do it.
You select the event (after the end of which you want to delete time), fire the macro. Select the next event, do the same.
But as I said, I haven’t test this yet.
By default the key commands to move the cursor to next or previous event are B and N.
If you de-select any track (select one track, then Ctrl-click the same track) you can use B and N to move through the project.
You can set the locators to the current cursor position with (default) Ctrl+NumPad1 and Ctrl+NumPad2.
That should give you precise positioning.
@ggmanestraki , @Johnny_Moneto
Both your solutions work, just tested them : you guys are more efficient than me… 
First of all, I apologise for my sloppy posting of Ctrl+P which you are right that I should have stated just ‘P’ to set locators!
Secondly, THANK YOU to all 3 of you @cubic13 @Johnny_Moneto @ggmanestraki for your efforts & help in responding to my question!
This is why I love this forum, because many members are here to genuinely help which makes the platform work well because then we reciprocate when we have the ability to do so.
I knew with all the Cubase kb shortcuts that there would be a way (or 2 or 3) but the extra pairs of eyes would find it when my brain is stuck. Thanks @ggmanestraki for the macro idea which was the route I was thinking I would need, however the simple B & N is perfect & so efficient. 
So simple it’s a bit embarrasing that I didn’t see it 
Now I can whizz through the project so THANK YOU ALL AGAIN! 
Extra notes:
I am using video also so detect silence may not have worked but thanks for the tip re the feature
I am already using ‘snap to event’ which is working great on parts of the edit, many thanks for the idea though!
