Region Operations
A region has several areas in its on-screen representation:
the waveform (the majority of the region's display area, normally)
the trim bar (the colored bar below the waveform)
the name (in the trim bar, text)
the fade handles (small squares that default to the upper left +
right corners)
the fade shape (filled or empty curves representing fade in + fade
out)
the gain envelope (hidden by default)
Mouse operations on each area will do different things.

will stay at the same position in time if dragged up and down and they
will stay at the same value if dragged sideways.
