Les,
Check the 'nudge' feature, which moves a clip one frame at a time (a frame
in MM2 project work is 1/15 of a second). Select the music clip on the
timeline (maybe zoom into the timeline a bit if you need to) and then use
the nudge left or right.... Start by the pull down menu > Clip > Nudge Left
and Nudge Right - it notes the keyboard shortcuts... so moving a second is
15 nudges.
On chopping your music clip, use the seek bar under the monitor.... the
Previous and Next Frame icons (Alt+Left or Right Arrow). It'll move the seek
bar and position indicator by one frame.
MM2 is a 15 fps editing environment.... if you need more precision in
splitting your clips, use MM1 to split the clips, which is a 30 fps
environment, and then import the MM1 collection into your MM2 project.
