If you're just trying to cut a project in two:

1) Put a marker in for your chop point, save, and close the project.
2) "cp -a" the original project directory to a new directory.
3) Open the new directory, and delete everything on one side of the marker. Just select it, and delete, easy. Save. Close the project.
4) In the old project, delete everything on the other side of the marker. Save.

You now have two projects, one of which is "up to such-and-such point", and the other is "after such-and-such point".
