Having problems moving ALL tracks and Arrangements tracks over slightly

I found the solution!
in mix tab, activate this one: Move track automation with regions.
now, if you press control+a (select all) and then move tracks, arrangements will move with the tracks. I hope it works for you too.

On the blue "LED" control window on the bottom, click the left icon. The choices are Time, Measures, Tuner, Project. Select "Time" then do what you described above, but using Time as as reference. You can then switch to measures and slide to the nearest measure.

Another thought is to select all your material using Command+A, then slide everything to the right. However, I don't think that'll drag the arrangement track with it - although you could try experimenting with it.

This does not work. Moving/multiple whole arrangements really doesnt work well at all.

Someone else might have a better suggestion... or not. This could just be one of those limitations of GB. Moving forward, if you're going to want to be able to easily tweak things like this and many more, you might want to look into Logic.

Not that I'd buy Logic for that SOLE reason, but does anyone know if its actually possible/easier in logic?

Unfortunatley suggesting someone buys logic seems to be the general suggestion to a lot of users on this Garageband forum when they cant get GB to do something they want, but its hardly ever 100% confirmed that Logic can perform the suggested tasks. (By the way I do know that this isnt a Logic forum).

If that's the SOLE reason you'd buy Logic, then it's not worth it. Knowing that you want this intro space at the beginning of your songs, you could just start your next GB song from bar 5 or 9 or wherever. Problem solved (right?).

However, the reason people give the "buy Logic then" answer is because all these walls people hit in GB don't exist in Logic. You can do what you describe in Logic and a whole lot more. The price (outside of the literal price) is that you give up the simplicity of GB.

Beyond this one issue, if you'd be generally interested in a lot more options when you record, and don't mind spending some time learning how to use them, then maybe Logic would be something you'd be interested in.
