Track Pane Show/Hide All

Is there a way to hide or show all the tracks at once in the the track pane?  Sometimes I want to focus on one track for a moment, then go back to seeing all the tracks.  I know I can do this through adding/dropping tracks from the track pane, but that's tedious.

Thanks,
Steve

Highlight the track and select show/hide all tracks button in the sonar toolbar. Or use the hide tracks not selected button in the toolbar.
Thats 2 ways to do it

To view all tracks at once, just hit 'a' Follow it with an 'f' to fit to screen.

To view a SELECTED track, hit 'h'

Also, if you're using Track Folders, minimise just ONE of them. Then right click it and select "lock height"

Then when you fit to screen ('f'), your folders will stay minimised (which is how I like them to be)

(I think you gave me that tip Jose!)

Sorry I put this out and then went away--I was sick for a few days.  Thanks to everyone for their responses (I learned some new things), but I realize I communicated my question badly.  I neglected to mention that I was talking about in the piano roll view...



I'm looking to be able to toggle hide/show for all the tracks here.

Thanks,
Steve

Hey Steve,

There are several ways you can do this in PRV.

Thanks Jose, I appreciate the info.  The only problem is that constantly re-selecting tracks from the pick list is very tedious, particularly if you've got a non-contiguous grouping.

Say I want to see some woodwinds with some brass, and so I go through and pick them.  Now I listen to this group together, and I realize that one of the brass instruments is off.  For just a moment, I want to just look at that one track, then switch back to seeing all of them.

To do this, I can go to the track picker and re-select all of them, and then they're all back showing, or I can go through and click the show/hide square one by one.

Either way is really nasty when dealing with a bunch of tracks.  What I'd love to have is the ability to select multiple tracks in the track pane itself, and be able to do a ctrl click on the selected tracks' attributes (e.g. show/hide or lock) and have it affect all the selected at the same time.

Barring that, just being able to show/hide all would be much easier, since I could then hide all the tracks, click to select the one, do what I need to with it, then reshow all the tracks.

Maybe I'm looking for a new feature :)

Thanks again for your help,
Steve

Yes, it's a shame the tracks pane on the right hand part of the prv isn't organised into a hierarchy with folders, similar (or the same) as track view.

That would help enormously when editing complex MIDI passages.
