X1D Hide tracks like in Microsoft excel

Lets say I've got 3 songs. Drums are covering tracks 1-8, bass is on 9
For song 1 the guitars are on tracks 10,11,12
For song 2 the guitars are on tracks 13,14,15
For song 3 the guitars are on tracks 16,17,18
 
Is there any way to "Hide" tracks 10 - 15 if I only want to see and work on the guitars for song 3 (16-17-18).
 
I know I could just move the other tracks to a different location, but just muting them and tucking the tracks away like in excel would be nice. Then I could just unhide them when I'm ready to go back to them.
Make any sense?

    You can hide the tracks in Track Manager, or you could Archive those tracks (archived tracks won't play).  Archive works quicker for my workflow.

    i7-870 2.93Ghz, 16GB RAM, Radeon HD 5770 + 2 x DisplayLink w/ 4 x 22" screens, Intel SSD 80GB, Sonar X1-D Exp.

    As well as track manager you could put them into their own folders and expand/collapse as required.

    You could also set up a screenset per song, use the track manager to hide the tracks you don't want to see and set up the rest of your workspace how you like it. Copy that screenset to two new ones, swap to the first copy and use the tack manager again to show/hide the tracks. Repeat for the second copy and then jump from song to song using the number keys.
