+<h2>Separate Under</h2>
+
<p>
- You may have a situation where you have positioned one region over another,
- and you just want to cut the lower region so that it directly adjoins both
- ends of the overlapping one, with no overlaps. To do this, select the upper
- region, then choose <kbd class="menu">Edit > Separate > Separate
- Under</kbd>. This will split the lower region so that it no longer overlaps
- the upper region at all. <br />
- Here is an example where we start with a short region placed so that it
- overlaps a longer region:
+ When one region is over another, and the lower region has to be cut so that it
+ directly adjoins both ends of the overlapping one, with no overlaps, the <dfn>
+ Separate Under</dfn> tool can be a very efficient time-saver.
+ With the upper region selected, the <kbd class="menu">Edit > Separate > Separate
+ Under</kbd> menu will split the lower region so that it no longer overlaps
+ the upper region at all.

<p>
- When we perform the <dfn>Separate Under</dfn> edit, the lower region splits
- in two, with boundaries exactly positioned at the edges of the upper region:
+ If the upper region covers only one end of the lower region, then this
+ operation is equivalent to <a href="@@trimming-regions">Trim to Next or Trim to Previous</a>,
+ depending on which end is covered.

+<h2>Separate Using Range</h2>
<p>
- If the upper region covers only one end of the lower region, then this
- operation is equivalent to
- <a href="/editing-and-arranging/change-region-lengths/#trimtonextprevious">Trim to Next or Trim to Previous</a>,
- depending on which end is covered.
+ A loop or punch range can also be used to slice a region. By using the
+ <kbd class="menu">Edit > Separate > Separate Using Loop/Punch Range</kbd>,
+ any selected regions that are covered by the range at both ends of the range,
+ or just one if the range only covers part of the region. This makes it easy to
+ generate regions that correspond precisely to a range.
