Faster workflow?

I have a question regarding the clipping indicator on a track meter.  When I am in the initial stages of mixing and fleshing out volume levels, I periodically clip tracks.  Every time a track or bus clips, the red indicator lights up, but it stays on permanently until I click it.  Seems like I spend a lot of time clicking on the clip indicator to set it back to its iintial state. I would prefer it to stay on for a certain length of time, and then disappear until the next clip... is there a setting I could adjust to make that change?  It's probably right in from of my nose, but I can't seem to find it...
Thanks!

Thanks for the help, Rogerio.
 
When I press the spacebar, it does reset, but the music begins to play again.   Is there any way to just have the clip indicators reset without the music starting up again?   Maybe a key binding?
 
Comps + limiters = very important
 
Thanks again...Salud!

never mind

I understand the wish and support the idea that this should be an option if it's not.
But personally, I wouldn't change it. It's actually quite important that they stay on forever, you may not always have seen the clip, it could have been on a track that was out of sight at the time. You should never just "click it away" unless you actually fixed the clipping. Or you think you did. If you come back later and see the track clipped again you didn't fix it properly. If there was a time limit on it it you might never notice. The light isn't actually in your way, you just don't like looking at it I guess. But if the check engine light on your car keeps coming on you should also check the engine, not turn off the light.

By the way, R, your animation music is really cool!!

Thanks!
Just to corroborate the above opinions, red lights are important and should not be ignored.
The best way to not see them, is: do not cause them. That is, decrease the gain, and/or use envelopes to decrease the volume at the points where they occur, and/or use compressors and finally a limiter.
All of this, of course, with knowledge of the end result you want.
 
In practice, in Sonar, audio clipping only occurs on the last bus, as I could verify in this post. Or possibly some VST on some intermediate track or bus, which does not know how to deal with signals above 0 db (but most know how to handle it).
 
Therefore, audio clipping will occur only in the exported final file (or in the final audio that is outputting from your speaker.

If you stop the transport, the clipping indicators are reset -- or at least they are reset when you start the next time.
If it is not an issue you wish to manage with compression, then you should lower all levels.  Select all the tracks, and then hold down the ctrl key while adjusting one of the track faders.  That will adjust everything in proportion, stopping the distortion and leaving your mix in place.
 
It is really important to get the levels into a non-clipping range before you do much else because many of the other effects behave differently at high input levels. You need to get everything down into a reasonable working range that does not clip before doing much else with the mix.

A continued thanks to you all... some more good advice and suggestions... looks like key binding is the way to go as I fumble my way to the endzone   :$
