The function of this command depends on the current selection:
If there is no selection, the first quarter of the file will be moved to the end.
If a selection is made at the very beginning of the file, that audio will be cut and pasted at the end of the file. If a selection is made at the very end of the file, that audio will be cut and pasted at the beginning of the file.
If
the selection does not touch the very end or very beginning of the
file, the command will not work.
