An expanded track is marked with a “+” in front of it, a collapsed track indicated by a “-“.
Click on this mark to change the expand/collapse status of the track.
The TRACK FUNCTIONS menu contains functions to expand/collapse all tracks simultaneously.

Tracks can be SELECTED individually. A selected track is displayed in a darker colour.

. For some functions it is important whether a
track is selected or not. For normal operations however, in graphic display mode, you do not have to worry about
this.
Click on the track name cell (you may have to do this twice, because the first click is chooses the current track) or
press the track encoder within the bar to change the selection status of a track.
The TRACK FUNCTIONS menu contains functions to select/deselect all tracks simultaneously. These functions are
also available as direct “R” (Reset all tracks to unselected) and “S” (Set all tracks to selected) keys.
At the moment, selecting tracks does not affect the playback functionality, it is only a display and edit function.
For future versions, however, we plan to have that as a special playback mode, to enable playback output for
selected tracks.

Sorting Tracks
Perhaps you have a large number of tracks in your show, but currently you are only interested in some of them.
Select these tracks and press the SORT key. The selected tracks will be sorted and displayed at the very top of the
track display.
If you have selected all (or no) tracks and press SORT, they are sorted into their natural order, e.g. the order in
which they appear on the console.
The sorting of tracks is part of the show and is stored with the show. It is only a display function and not affect
playback functionality.

- Set the current time with the time encoder (first one) to where you want to add the event.
- Use the track encoder (second one) to select the track on which you want to add the event.
- Press the ADD HERE! key.
- At the given position, a new event will appear and now you are ready to edit the event.
When you are adding events on an executor command track, the timecode editor will try and predict the most
likely command at that particular point in the track.
For example if you have an executor with a sequence, containing 3 steps, and you simply add one event after the
other, it is assuming:
GOTO STEP1 , GOTO STEP2 , GOTO STEP3 , OFF
Or if you are adding a new event after a FLASH UP ON command, it will predict the new event as FLASH UP OFF.
For chaser, the editor never predicts GOTOs, instead it uses conventional Gos. The editor is also assumes, that you
only want to switch the chase on, and then off again, regardless of how many steps the chase has.
