the same track. Tracks can have an unlimited number of groups, separated by empty slots.

Controls.
1. The Follow Action Time control denes when the Follow Action takes place in
bars-beats-sixteenths from the point in the clip where play starts. The default for
this setting is one bar.
2. The Follow Action choosers allow selecting two different Follow Actions, A and
B.
3. The Chance A and Chance B controls set the likelihood of each of the two
Follow Actions occurring. If a clip has Chance A set to 1 and Chance B set to
0, Follow Action A will occur every time the clip is launched. As we can see
from this example, a Chance setting of 0 means that an action will never happen.
Changing Chance B to 10 in this scenario makes Follow Action A occur much
less often approximately once out of every ten clip launches.
There are eight Follow Actions available:
Stop simply stops the clip after it has played for the chosen Follow Action Time. Note
that this overrides clip loop/region settings.
Play Clip Again restarts the clip.
Play Previous Clip triggers the previous clip (the one above the current one).
Play Next Clip triggers the next clip down in the group. If a clip with this setting is last
in a group, this Follow Action triggers the rst clip.
