Configuring the display of tracks in the Track view

There are several commands in the Track view View menu and Track pane context menu that allow you to configure the appearance of your tracks in the Track view. You can use these commands to zoom in or out, show or hide any combination of tracks, and revert back to previous display settings. The following table lists each of these commands and provides an explanation of each.

To lock or unlock the height of a track

1.	Right-click an empty area in one of the desired track’s controls to display the Track pane context menu.

2.	Choose Lock Height from the menu.

When you lock the height of a track, its height does not change when you use a Zoom or Fit command. When a track’s height is locked, you can still drag the track strip’s lower border to adjust the track’s height. After you drag the border, the altered track height becomes the track’s locked height.
