About folder tracks
Just as the name implies, a folder track is a folder that con-
tains other tracks. Moving tracks into a folder is a way to 
structure and organize tracks in the Project window. For 
example, grouping several tracks in a folder track makes it 
possible for you to “hide” tracks (thus giving you more 
working space on the screen). You can solo and mute 
several tracks in a quicker and easier way and perform ed-
iting on several tracks as one entity. Folder tracks can...

Muting and soloing folder tracks
One of the main advantages of using folder tracks is that 
they provide you with a way to mute and solo several tracks 
as one unit. Muting and soloing a folder track affects all

tracks in the folder. 
Muting a folder track
You can mute a folder track (and thereby mute all tracks 
within it) the same way you mute other tracks by clicking in 
the Mute (“M”) button in the Track list.

Tracks inside a folder can be edited as one entity by per-

tracks within the folder by showing the contained tracks, 
selecting parts and opening editors as usual.
Double-clicking a folder part opens the editors for the cor-
responding track classes present in the folder. The follow-
ing applies:
All MIDI parts located on...

About markers
Markers are used to locate certain positions quickly. If you 
often find yourself jumping to a specific position within a 
project, you should insert a marker at this position. There 
are two types of markers:
 Cycle markers allow you to store the start and end positions of 
a range.
 Standard markers store a specific position. 
Markers can be created and edited in several ways: 
 By using the Marker window (see below).
 By using the Marker track (see “Using the Marker...
