Default If I "Remove Unused Regions" after "Consolidate", track won\'t play?

I copied and pasted a region (a long guitar lead) from Track 1 to Track 2. Then, in Track 2 I:

(1) Copied and pasted portions of the region (individual notes) to reposition the notes to improve timing, thereby creating several smaller regions.
(2) Consolidated the regions back into one region.

The result is one region in track 1 and one region in Track 2.

PROBLEMS:
(1) If I now "Select Unused Regions" and then "Clear Unused Regions", Track 2 will not play. Apparently the underlying regions that I created and then consolidated cannot be cleared.

(2) If I deactivate Track 1, I cannot play Track 2. The copy and paste technique apparently left these tracks forever linked.

I like to be able to clean up my session at the end by clearing unused regions and removing unused tracks. Now, I can't do that for fear of losing needed regions.

Is there a better technique I can use, so I don't create these problems for myself?? [img]images/icons/confused.gif[/img] [img]images/icons/frown.gif[/img]

Thanks,
Mike
