Customizing
Appearance
• You can ungroup controls by using the Ungroup button. Please note that this will
remove the selected element and the elements below it in the list from this group.
To remove an entire group, select the first (topmost) element belonging to this
group and click the Ungroup button.
About Wrap Controls
This is activated by default. Wrap Controls allows the controls to be dynamically
repositioned when resizing the track list. That is, as many controls as possible will be
displayed depending on the current size of the track list.
If you deactivate Wrap Controls, the positions of the controls are fixed, regardless of
the size of the track list. In this mode, you may have to resize the tracks vertically (by
dragging the dividers between them) to display all the controls.
About the Length column
The Length column in the Visible Controls list allows you to set the maximum length
for certain text fields, e.
g. Name. To change the setting, click on the number in the
Length column and type in a new value.
Resetting track list settings
You have two possibilities to reset the settings:
• Click Reset to restore all default track controls settings for the selected track type.
• Click Reset All to restore all default track controls settings for all track types.
Saving presets

1. Click on the Save button (the “+” sign) to the right of the Presets pop-up menu.

2. Click OK to save the settings as a preset.
Saved presets are available for selection from the Presets pop-up menu and from
the pop-up menu in the top left corner of the track list.
