Absolutely, Working with the play lists allows two things, you can keep focus on the play list in the edit window, and use the track table in the mix window to quickly select tracks. My favorite feature of PT on a mac is being able to keep focus in two different windows! It's extremely easy to quickly create a new PL between takes to give who evers singing or playing a breath, at the end I create a new blank play list, called comped, and once I've comped it, I duplicate it, and do my fades/cross fades etc, this insures if I don't like a fade, I can go back to the original comped track.
