Music Scores in Elements 2024 cannot be edited

I am trying to use the Middle East music score that comes with Elements 2024, but when I attempt to trim it so that it picks up in a more dynamic part of the score, it resets all trimmed sections back to the quiet, slow beginning of the score. No matter where I cut the score along the timeline, the newly cut section resets back to the start, leaving me with a series of trims, all of which start at exactly the same place no matter what I try to do. Even dragging the "handle" from the beginner of the track causes it to reset to the beginning. Help? Is this some sort of bug with the music scores in 2024?

As another work around you could always output to a temporary file and bring it back in as source media.   Unlink the audio from the video and delete the video.  Now you should have a music track you can cut up any way you want.

Try keyframing: the bits you dont want set volume to 0.

I have an earlier version of PrEl but I don't use it to trim/cut audio
