Well then I'm stumped. You still haven't told us what computer and operating system you are using.

I just found I can successfully past other tracks (also a few short clips with 0 time line on either side) from the backup to the project keeping same distance between clips and total time

Tried going with the same track from the current project to the back up but getting the same shortened time period and less space between clips.

Chalk this up as a digital hiccup

This process is a bit cumbersome if you are making frequent changes to both projects. It may make sense to finalize one of the songs as much as possible and then import the finished one into the other project. This will save you a lot of back and forth later on.

Thank you
