Is there a quick way to bulk shift Regions about in Reaper?
e.g.
a) you have a project with say 15 regions defined and you want to put a new 4-bar region between the existing regions 10 and 11
b) you realise you've screwed up and should have had an extra 2-bar lead in, and want to shift all of your Regions two bars to the right
I know you can shift+drag a region individually, or shift+double-click to edit the start/end/length details, and I've found the Region Manager where you can do similar in a grid. But in all of those you have to go through each region adjusting them individually, which is a PITA - particularly in the region manager where editing start/end will either stretch or tuncate the region, rather than shift it, so you have to run through moving the start, then the end if you want to shove them all up/down but maintain their overall size.
I'm sure I must be missing something, I can't be the only one that screws up when defining regions whilst laying out a structure.

19 Markers and regions. I only reference these vids as i am in the process of watching them . Sorry i cant speak from experience.
I use this to insert empty bars into project, then add a marker to the old start point. This helps when zooming in and out-as there is always empty space at the start, and using '1' to get to the actual start-if '1' is the first marker you have used.
You can also look into 'ripple' mode which helps with moving big chunks of a project around. The options are all there, I usually look for a Kenny vid to pick up the tips.
If you want to reduce the space
Left click drag the space you want to remove
Right click and select "Remove contents of selection (moving later items)"
