What I mean is, just disabling the main text, not the branches in it.
That´s why the way to add a branch for the main text would be a little
difficult, as every separated part of the main text, beween the
branches, would have to be nested in a branch. I would like to have
the possibility to just enable output only for the different branches
in the document.
I hope this is a little clearer.

Yes, this would be a way, but a uncomfortable way:
As my main text is very long and has lots of branches, it would be
much more convenient, if there would be a possibility to disable
the main text. Otherwise I would have to put quite a few parts into
a new branch.
Is there no other way?
No, the main branch as such is unmarked. Even the branches aren't
really marked in LaTeX. They are just ways of enabling and disabling
output.
Conceptually, this is harder than you might think. Branches can be
nested, so if you think of the main text as a branch that can be
disabled, then everything inside it is also disabled. So it just
isn't clear what it would mean to disable the main text.
