NOTE
If you just split a part and play back the result, it will sound the same 
regardless of this setting. However, if you split a part and delete the first half 
or move the second half to a different position in the project, you may want to 
activate Split MIDI Controllers to make sure all controllers have the correct 
value at the beginning of the second part.

the folder track will also be folded in.
