Another take lanes mystery:
I am slightly off beat when playing the banjo. I split one take lane recording, drag and drop the corrected part of the clip to its new position. Then, I can't see any automated cross fade as there was when using layers or in the parent track (or whatever it is called, the containg track for all the take lanes). I don't want to make these changes in the parent track because the overview isn't sufficient. Any ideas on this?
 
 

I reported that cross-fades are not created in takes lanes per documentation in the Ref. Guide. I think your options are to go ahead and do it in the parent track, or move the later clip to a new lane and manually set the fades.

Thank you brundlefly. I do think this is a workflow drawback compared to layers...

You can create cross fades in take lanes, but the approach is different than using the parent track (or layers). See here:

The trick is the two takes need to be completely adjacent - no gaps. If you slide one take over it will delete the corresponding section of the overlapping take. Then, use the take cross fade tool to adjust the size and location of the fade. In some ways it is actually better than layers. In other ways not quite as good. But certainly useable.

I wish CW would provide more video tutorials about editing with takes. It is possible to do it effectively, but the documentation is weak.

Thanks neirbod! I saw that symbol for cross fading but I never saw any changes indicating that cross fade took place in the actual clips.
