> challenging when trying to create soundscapes that involve using a track
> near the top, and one near the bottom of the track list (as an example).

> In addition to this, orchestral projects, in a fairly generic sense at

> Woodwinds, Brass, Percussion, and so on.
>
> Using these examples, a folder track based use case might be as follows:
>
> A folder track is created, and named "strings".
>
> The user multiple selects the strings tracks he wishes to add to the
> folder, and drag and drops them onto the folder track, or, the user right
> clicks the folder track and opens a dialog that lists all the tracks in the
> project. The user multiple selects tracks from the list, and hits enter to
> add them to the folder. There are 2 columns in the dialog, one containing
> all the tracks for the project, and one that lists the current tracks in
> the folder.
>
> The folder can be "opened" and "closed" with a toggle keybinding, or
> double click on the folder track header. When the folder is closed, the
> user only sees a single folder track. When the folder is opened, the tracks
> within the folder appear. The user can open a folder, work on the tracks,
> then hide the tracks again.
>
> With this type of folder track, the user can significantly reduce the
> navigation involved in large project workflow, simply moving from folder to
> folder, opening and closing as he or she goes.
>
>
> To remove tracks from the folder, right click on the folder track header,
> open the dialog, and remove the tracks currently listed for the folder.
> (select and press delete. This only removes the tracks from the folder
> column, nothing else.)

Yep, mostly on the same track. We want this. We'll see what the summer
brings, there's a lot of stuff I'd like to do.

So I guess you want a part (segment) type that displays text in the
arrangement? Would not be too hard to fix I think, what type of information
would you put in there?
