You can identify a point in a file either by percentages, or by
minutes:seconds. A number without a colon is interpreted as a percent
of the total length, a number with a colon is taken as minutes colon
seconds, with the seconds part permitting a decimal point.

Copy, snipp8ing, killing, and zapping a region of a track is done
natively by wedit rather than relying on soc, since it is perfomred on
the memory image of the file, not the file itself. Edges produced by
those operations are faded sinusoidally over a 100 ms interval. The
analogy is a diagonal splice of audio tape, except the slope of the
splice is a half cycle of a sine wave instead of linear.
