GarageBand: How to shorten regions with ruining the tracks

The song I'm working on has regions I purposefully left blank to fill in later. I added several other tracks to the song, but now realize the blank regions are just a tad too long; they throw off the flow of the song. How do I shorten those regions without throwing off the timing of the other tracks?

Thanks!

How to extend track in GarageBand Somehow, I got into a view mode where my track always reaches the right edge of the window, and I cannot drag the track out to extend the duration of the loop. How do I get back to where I can scroll right, past the existing music and add things to the end of tracks?

Change track tempo without affecting track region placement I have a song with 24 audio tracks recorded at a tempo of 242. I'd like to change the track tempo to 121 (half the tempo) without impacting the audio tracks in any way. Here's what I've done so far: Selected all tracks and turned the flex and follow setting to off. Set the tempo change setting to "Keep". Changed the tempo from 242 to 121. What I end up with is audio that absolutely sounds right and follows the new tempo, but with newly created gaps in the spaces between track regions. I assume the software is behaving correctly, so I'm not saying something is wrong. I'm just asking for advice on how I might collapse the track regions back together (eliminate the newly created empty spaces) without having to drag each region one by one? Here is a screen shot before and after the tempo change. Before Tempo Change After Tempo Change

Why does GarageBand automatically select all regions on a track? When working in GarageBand, I noticed that often, all regions of a track will get automatically selected. This occurs when changing tracks by selecting them in the gray arrangement area on the left. For instance, going from your bass track to guitar. More often than not though, this just sets up inadvertent deletions. Last night, I lost some really good lead takes this way and didn't even notice because I was zoomed up on another area of the song. Unless the automatic one-click "all regions" selection has some kind useful purpose, I feel this feature should be removed, modified, or made a preference option since it seems to cause more problems than be useful.
