This section explains the rules used to decide which regions are affected
- by editing operations. You don't really have to understand them—hopefully
- things will Just Work—but it may be useful eventually to understand the rules.

- is special in that its position indicates both a time and a track; the other
- edit points (Playhead,Marker) indicate a time only.
