Oops squared: figured out my problem. You have to unlink audio and label tracks first, apparently. I had been warned about this track setting, but hadn't entirely understood. If I'm correct, that means I'll lose my correct label location when I use the time sliding tool?

Oops: but it doesn't seem to work: when I use Ctl "i" I get a split, but when I then shift the right segment to the right with the time shift tool, the left segment moves to the right with it--the space between doesn't enlarge!!??

I'm editing a multimedia production, with music, voice over, interviews, etc--multitrack editing. The sound has to synch with still images. Let's say I want to slide 3 of 7 tracks to the right (to fit something in between), and keep those three linked (I want them to slide together--when I move one ...
