I think I remember having this discussion a long time ago, but you and
some of the others weren't around then so I'll explain again. The
reason for it being possible to solo multiple instruments is to make
it as efficient as possible to mute/unmute tracks. If you have 10
instruments and only want to hear two of them, you can solo those two
instead of muting all eight others. 8 clicks vs. 2 clicks is very
compelling. In this way I guess it is less of a "solo" action and more
of being the converse action to mute, but we don't have a word for
that so we call it "solo".
