This feature was requested by andyp24 on the thread Script Request for moving an item to end of previous – WITH RIPPLE (X-Raym?)

Set selected items snap offset to their fade-in position

This script is especially useful with custom actions.

Delete and move next items according to ripple state, after having set their snap offset to their fade-in position. This is just one example of how you can use the scripts, but since the new script added in the pack (see below), this particular custom action is outdated. Though, it can be useful in other situations for creating other custom actions.

Delete selected items preserving crossfades and conditionally ripple by min item pos to max item end fade-out duration

The problem with native items deletion with ripple on was exposed by andyp24 on this forum thread: Fix for Ripple Delete breaking crossfades?

Native Delete items action remove fades and alter items length if ripple is on.

Here is the solution:

Contrary to the native way Delete perform in REAPER with ripple on, here fades and item length are preserved. Demo with one single items selected, but also work with several items selected.

Tricks

  • Better use the Snap script with only one selected item if ripple is on to make results more predictable (but it works just fine in any case)
  • You wrap the Snap script in a custom action with Item: Toggle selection of item under mouse cursor
