There are many occasions where I am working within the lanes of a track, and I try to execute a command for the track itself but because the focus is highlighting the Lane and not the Track, nothing happens.
This, IMO, is a missed opportunity because if we already have the lanes of a track selected it should be implied that we want to work with that track. At present, the track itself needs to be selected for any commands to work on it.
Hmm I was aware of this, but it was my impression that for a positive command the Parent (ie, the main track of those lanes in this case), has to be selected. In the scenario described in my OP, thatās the issue ā that it isnāt selected, only the lane is, and Iām trying to do the reverse (and get it selected).
When you have a part/event selected on a lane, you can have the container track selected as long as you have in the PreferencesāEditing, āTrack Selection Follows Event Selectionā checked.
This way, you can execute a PLE for the selected track, for example:
Actually all that needed to click is I need to preselect an event in the lane, then the container track automatically gets selected as well.
Thanks for highlighting this.
Yes I have this option enabled, all I needed to remember was to select an event on the lane first, then that will achieve what I want.
I still think the container track should remain selected when one of its lanes are selected, but it may not play nice with the slew of ālaneā commands available.
