Can Take Lanes now hide muted lanes or clips when collapsed?



When takes lanes are collapsed, the draw order was changed such that clips you hear draw OVER ones you don't.
So in a sense muted clips are no longer shown.  Same thing for take lanes that are muted.


I wonder why I didn't specifically ask about MIDI tracks...
I mean, for example, if you record three different synth takes at exactly the same position in a MIDI track like this...
 
Lane 1: Chord
Lane 2: Arpeggio
Lane 3: Lead
 
....and if I'm not sure which one best suits the song and so I mute Lane 1 and 2 and collapse the lanes........will I now only see the Lead clip there?

We hope to address the max size restriction on take lanes very soon.  
 
As for exporting takes, thanks for the additional explanation.  Makes sense.  
We'll consider it but can't guarantee when it would be implemented.  Hopefully it can be in the near future.


 
 
I see that neither take lane size nor the ability to export takes were included in X3c (not a criticism, X3c seems to be a great update from what I have seen so far).  Can anyone at Cakewalk provide an update on when, or if, they will be addressed?  X3d?  After spending far too many hours working to get an album full of takes to my mix engineer, I am all the more convinced that the exporting takes issue is critical for collaboration.
