Hi Martin, Yes, that is true, if you've set the Track view Selector to playlist rather than waveform. But, as you pointed out, unless you solo the track, you'll hear the main playlist. The whole process works well for sighted users because they can instantly see what is selected, what's soloed, etc. You can certainly stumble through it as a blind user but it's easy to lose one's place. There's some new editing features in the works for a future Pro Tools release (perhaps the next one or surely the one after that) which will make things a bit easier still.
With groups, the selection of playlists still works with Shift and the up and down arrows. The whole thing gets a little screwy when the number of playlists among the tracks don't match. Supposedly, (and sometimes this does actually work), extra playlists are created in order to line up the numbers so that all tracks are incrementing the same way. Most of the time, grouped tracks have playlists that increment together anyway since they're usually created right at the outset when recording. It's in the later stages where this can get tricky with tracks whose playlists were not created simultaneously. Man, Pro tools can sometimes get convoluted but logic does prevail in most cases.
