If you want to use that portion in your song, split the region at the end-of-song marker (at the end of measure 999) and drag the overmatter into any area between measures 1 and 999.

Because a typical drum loop contains several different rhythms across multiple sounds, such as the hi hat, kick drum, and snare, each drum part may have a different rhythmic bias that will affect the behavior of Enhance Timing. In some cases this makes it impossible for Enhance Timing to give useful results. In contrast to the MIDI quantize feature, Enhance Timing depends on the content of the file. Any audio file that contains mixed rhythms may present issues for Enhance Timing.

For example, in Jam Pack 4, many Software Instruments allow you to choose different articulations by mapping data from the modulation wheel on your MIDI controller. The instrument remembers the last articulation setting it sees, whether it's from a recorded track or sent live as you play. However, when you move the playhead, the most recent recorded articulation for each track will be sent, which may be different than the one you're expecting. You can reset the articulation for the current active ]]> Mon, 6 Jun 2005 12:12:53 -0500 Release date: Thu, 2 Jun 2005 22:00:00 -0500; Views: 20 http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301673 If you edit an instrument in GarageBand 2 and save it using the same name as the original, only the edited version of the instrument will appear when you set Jam Pack Management to Show All.
