Process > Retrograde
The Process > Retrograde command reverses the order of events in a selection. If one or more
clips are selected, then the events within each clip are reversed. If several clips are selected from
the same track, then the order of the clips is also reversed. You could use this command, for
example, to take a scale or other long run of notes and reverse the order in which they are played.
The Process > Retrograde command does not reverse the contents of audio clips. It only changes
their start times. You can use the Process > Apply Effect > Reverse command to reverse audio
clips.

Process > Fit to Time
Process > Fit to Time stretches or shrinks the selection so that it ends at a specific time, expressed
in either measure:beat:tick (MBT) or hours:minutes:seconds:frames (SMPTE) format. This
command gives you a choice of modifying the events or modifying the underlying tempo. This is
useful when you want to alter a portion of a project to have an exact length. The start time of the
selection does not change, but the end time is altered as necessary to fit the required time interval.
Audio can be stretched or condensed up to a factor of 4 (e.g., it can be shrunk to as little as 25
percent of its original length, or expanded to as much as 400 percent of its original length).
