  • Can the Piano Roll Display The Track I Select in the Track or Console View Automatically?

I'm probably missing something, but my piano roll (in the multidock) always displays the same track and I have to manually select the track I want to see in it each time. I would like it to display whichever track I have selected in the Track or Console Views. Is there a way to do this? This really slows my work down. Thanks.
 
Edit: I have since discovered (through the knowledge base) that if I hit the number 3 on my keyboard, it toggles the Piano Roll view to whichever track I have highlighted. This helps a lot, but still wondering if there's a way for it to do it automatically?

you can:
double click on the tracks clip - this opens up that track in the PRV
you can also open up an instance for that track, right click on the dock icon and select "lock contents".
this will let you open up multiple instances of the PRV for different tracks if you choose.
 
but what I do is use the PRV's synth view built in to the PRV. lock the tracks you don't want to edit, un lock when you do. you can also show/hide their content just by pressing a button.
this way everything is right at your finger tips.
