manual/include/groups-list.html

<p>
  The <dfn>Groups List</dfn> allows to quickly manage the <a href="@@the-track-and-bus-group-list">groups</a>
  of the session, and make use of them.
</p>

<p>
  Each group has a <kbd class="option">Show</kbd> checkbox to quickly toggle their visibility. Clicking an already
  selected group allows to rename it.
</p>

<p>
  The context menu, reached by <kbd class="mouse">right</kbd> clicking a group,
  allows for multiple mixing actions:
</p>

<table class="dl">
  <tr><th>Create New Group From&hellip;</th><td>Creates a new group based on some track properties. The choice is:
    <ul>
      <li><kbd class="menu">Selection&hellip;</kbd> to create a group of all selected tracks</li>
      <li><kbd class="menu">Record Enabled&hellip;</kbd> to create a group of all the tracks that are record enabled</li>
      <li><kbd class="menu">Soloed&hellip;</kbd> to create a group of all the soloed tracks</li>
    </ul></td></tr>
  <tr><th>Create New Group with Master From&hellip;</th><td>Acts exactly as the previous choice, but also creates a Control Master tied to these tracks.</td></tr>
  <tr><th>Assign Selection to Control Master&hellip;</th><td>Allows to link all the selected tracks to a chosen Control Master, whether or not they belong to a group.</td></tr>
  <tr><th>Assign Record Enabled to Control Master&hellip;</th><td>Allows to link all the record armed tracks to a chosen Control Master.</td></tr>
  <tr><th>Assign Soloed to Control Master&hellip;</th><td>Allows to link all the soloed tracks to a chosen Control Master.</td></tr>
  <tr><th>Enable All Groups</th><td>Enable all the groups, i.e. their selected properties are synchronized.</td></tr>
  <tr><th>Disable All Groups</th><td>Disable all the groups, i.e. changing a property in a track won't affect the others.</td></tr>

</table>

<p>
  When a group is selected, <kbd class="mouse">right</kbd> clicking it adds the following menu entries:
</p>

<table class="dl">
  <tr><th>Create New Group with Master From&hellip;</th><td>Acts exactly as the previous choice, but also creates a Control Master tied to these tracks.</td></tr>
  <tr><th>Edit Group&hellip;</th><td>Shows the <kbd class="menu">Track/bus Group</kbd> <a href="@@the-track-and-bus-group-list">window</a>.</td></tr>
  <tr><th>Collect Group</th><td>Rearranges the tracks/busses order to visually group together the tracks belonging to the same group.</td></tr>
  <tr><th>Remove Group</th><td>Deletes the group (but not the tracks/busses belonging to this group).</td></tr>
  <tr><th>Assign Group to Control Master&hellip;</th><td>Allows to link all the tracks in the group to a chosen VCA.</td></tr>
  <tr><th>Add/Remove Subgroup Bus</th><td>Creates/removes a new bus connected to the Master, and send the output of all the tracks in the group to this new bus.</td></tr>
  <tr><th>Add New Aux Bus (pre/post-fader)</th><td>Creates a new bus connected to the Master, and create <a href="@@aux-sends">Aux Sends</a> (pre or post-fader) in all the tracks in the group to this new bus.</td></tr>
</table>

<p>
  The <kbd class="menu">&plus;</kbd> button under the list allows the creation of an (empty) group,
  while the <kbd class="menu">&minus;</kbd> button deletes the selected group (but not the tracks in
  this group).
