If a music professor wanted to play only certain portions of a song from iTunes (in order to point out certain musical principles), is there a way of designating the start and stop points in a song so that only that portion of a song is played?

Yes in deed!
Click on the song you want to edit, and "Get Info" (command+i)
Then click on the "options" tab, and you can select the start and stop time of the song.
This won't change the file, and when you want to revert it back just uncheck the checkbox.

Thanks, Bob. I was just now "dinking" around and figured it out.

Are you moving the Library catalog when you are moving the files? The start and stop information isn't stored within the files themselves, so be sure that your old Library files are being used.

In reply to:
fyi-- you can make it permanent by selecting "convert selection" under the "advance" menu. you will end up with 2 seperate files.

Keep in mind that this actually "re-rips" the track, so unless your iTunes prefs are set to rip to AIFF, WAV, or Apple Lossless, you'll be losing some degree of audio quality by converting.
