Is there any way to superglue parts down within a track to stop them shifting?
I am finding that every time I add or edit another part within the same track it time shifts the first part. It's a pest really. Help much appreciated.....

Re: Superglue
There is no way to make the existing track "sticky." But nowhere is it written that you can't start another track.
Tracks > Add New.
Paste or open your additional work into this new track and they will both play at once. Use the Solo or Mute buttons (left) to listen to one or the other. Solo picks one track out of a bunch. Mute silences one track in a bunch.
Then you can use the envelope tools (two white arrows and bent blue line) and time shift (left/right arrows) to cut up, change volume, and shift things around as you wish.
Export As WAV may give you a distorted show if you go too crazy. For example, if you put the exact same show on both tracks, the final show will double in volume.
D'Oh! Distortion city.
You may need to Effect > Amplify with negative numbers to bring the show back down to normal. In the above case, "Amplify" by -6dB. There may be an automatic way to do this, but I don't know what it is.
