Chuck, I am asking for a bit of clarification and, if I am reading your process right, I have a suggestion for an alternative process that may make a difference.

Somewhere in rdlibrary? Or with an audio editor "behind Rivendell's back" as it were?

If I am guessing correctly, the second cut has been altered and rivendell did not do the altering. (I can't recall if I have ever done this in the past for other reasons, I am fairly certain I have never tired what I think you are doing. > I never had a problem in a > couple years on v2.10.2, but in 2.10.3, that cut 2 paste would show > 0:00 length and when opening the marker editor, it would claim there > was no audio present in the cut--even though the cut 2 track existed in > the audio store, and played fine with other software, showing no > errors. > If I am guessing correctly, here is an alternate workflow that may make a difference for you if you have not already tried it and found it does not make a difference. copy the cut in question to a working directory: cp /var/snd/000001_001.wav /tmp/working.wav operate on /tmp/working.wav to achieve the desired result click on import/export button to import another cut into the cart select /tmp/working.wav Do your cut weighting trick per your usual workflow.
