/**
* Program:
* Description: Remove gaps between events. This removes gaps in SELECTED events only. The remove gap function only works on selected events.
All events before and after the selected event are NOT processed. The GAP constant is used as the defined spacer between events
as they are processed. If you want the space between events to be 0, then set GAP to 0. GAP unit is milliseconds. Default is 1000 (1sec).
This script was created because the only other RemoveGaps script found on the interet had a bug where it truncated the end of each event
on complex tracks. This script works on complex tracks with 1000's of events. Also the other script processed all events on a track, this
script processes only selected tracks, so you can selectivly decide which evemts to process and which to not process.
