Move existing tempo track events 4 measures right.

[Ray Yates]

I updated the arrangement adding 4 bars to the length, so I need to move the tempo changes. The slow down at the end of the song is 4 bars early.
Its a complex Rubato ending so I don't want to re-do  it.

I tried using the selection tool then the move tool, but it fails. ( It just removes the selection) I tried Cut and paste, but "Cut" does not work. I tried Cut Special and that worked the first time but then, when I tried to adjust where I pasted it, Cut Special failed after that. 

Both Cut and Cut special now does nothing at all.

Is there a better way?

If you just need to shift the existing tempo changes 4 measures to the right, you can select the section you need to move (using the normal left-click drag, or right-click lasso) and click on one of the tempo change events and drag all of them 4 measures to the right. Hold Ctrl while dragging to constrain vertical movement. Set Snap to 'Measure' to force movement to snap to measures.

I just a tried cut special and paste special tempo events and it worked here.

The  better approach would be to Undo and enable Ripple Edit All before inserting/moving; tempo/meter changes, automation,  markers, etc. will all move together.

Yes to David's post.  But if you do use copy and paste,  make sure you select copy special (not just copy), and click on the box for tempo changes, and then if you paste it to the measure(s) you want, the tempo changes will copy with it.
