'Track Selection Follows Event Selection' while editing, using Macros, PLE

[m.c]

@steve, here’s what it’s about.
Create just two tracks and one part for each:

Now, select the two parts. Since we have “Track Selection Follows Event Selection” on, we get this:

As expected, both tracks are selected.

Now let’s apply “Cut”. We will see that now only the very first track stays selected:

@awesomeaudio, to me this is the expected behaviour, since after cutting there are no events in the two tracks that should be followed. Cubase most probably just keeps one track selected, the one registered as the very first one.

A solution:

1. Create a PLE for appending a key to the names of the selected tracks, in the example here, I chose the key [Selected].
   

   

2. Create a PLE for restoring the names containing this key:

3. Finally, create the PLE to be used, for selecting tracks with this matching key:
   
   

As you can see, I’ve placed in its Pre-Process section, the very first PLE which adds the key, and then the Cut command. In its Post-Process section, I’ve added the PLE for restoring their names to the original ones (the ones before appending the key).
