Can a music object be moved without moving the photos/objects over it?

If I show the timeline I can move the sound. But all objects that start with or after that object move as well.  I can move them back afterwards.  Or I can cut & paste to move it. But is there a way to disable the 'connection' so it can be moved without affecting other objects?  Most movie edit software allows 'group' / 'ungroup' (for associating one object with another) and 'auto-ripple' (same track / all tracks).  While I recognise that the app tries to be 'easy to use' - the lack of this feature can end up making it harder to use!

Hi

In Timeline mode change the mouse action to Single object , then you can move the music without affecting the other objects.

Yes - I see this now.  I don't know why I missed it before.

Thank you.
