I don’t follow. If I want to split a single event and not the other events on other tracks, I just select the event and hit “S”. Why do I need a script?

You dont need to follow Stephen, dont you realise it is i who
is requesting this and not a novice? Therefore it should be obvious
to you that I need the script for a specific reason.

OK. I uploaded it to my web site. Here is the link:

SplitEventAtCursor.cs

Just right-click and “Save Link As…”

Sorry I can’t recreate that error. Maybe your browser or antivirus software is inserting something into the file (I’ve seen that happen before). Open the file and make sure that it looks like the listing I posted.

I’m using the Chrome browse and I just right-clicked and saved it to my desktop and ran the script fine.

Wonderful John, Wonderful. Thats exactly what i wanted.
Thanks very much for the extra effort on this. I needed a
good functional script of this kind in order to construct
some other scripting ideas i have in my head for Vegas 10.
The scripting language always takes me for a loop…lol.

As i mentioned earlier, regarding that unnecessary tone
from Stephen. A requested such as this coming from me, must
be for another specific reason.

That’s why I am confused, Steve. It takes more keystrokes to run a script than to simply select an event and split it.
