Inserting time or measures into a project
The Project >Insert Time/Measures command lets you insert any number of blank measures,
ticks, seconds, or frames into a project. You can insert the blank measures (or other period of time)
into all tracks or into one or more selected tracks. If you insert the blank time into the entire project,
all events in each track—markers, meter and key settings, and tempo changes—are shifted
automatically by default. If you insert the blank time into one or more selected tracks, only the events
in those tracks are shifted by default. You can always choose which types of events should be
shifted.

is selected.
2. Set the Now time to the place where you want to insert the measure.
