Very nice advise, thank you. I like this animation- this is exactly what happens- I do click on empty space often and this is why it showed "Delete track" and not 2 tracks.
 
I don't see why we need "select": track and "focus" track. If I want more than one track focused, I should be able to do it. I don't like select track because the clips in the track get selected. If I want to focus on the track and don't need to highlight all clips in the track, then I click on the space to the right from track name (empty space)- and that space is also small. The bottom line is- if I click on the track, it gets focused and everything else should get deselected automatically, kind of like in the Word document. If you highlighted a word and click on another word, the original selected word will deselect. I do not expect something somewhere be still selected if I switch to another part of a song. Why would it stay selected? Under what circumstances I would need a clip remain selected while working on another track?
 
I was always wondering how to set up let's say 2 MIDI tracks to receive data from 2 different NIDI controllers for recording. For example if I have 2 keyboard players playing on 2 different keyboards in real time and I want to record both. Looks like it only receives data on focused track. Or I may be wrong...

Easy. Get them to output their Midi data on different Midi Channels and set SONAR up to receive this data on the two track set to the correct channel.

Sonar will receive and record midi data on as many midi channels as you have on your midi interface. Just set each track to it's particular input/channel then record enable the tracks. You can also enable the 'echo input' on multiple channels if you wish.
