Track selection

[Jeremy Murray-Wakefield]

Apologies in advance for such a basic question, but I cannot find an answer to this in either the online documentation or the reference manual.

What is the terminology for - and in indeed the function of - the difference between selecting a track by clicking on its number, and selecting it by clicking on its title?
- they are clearly quite different things, but it is not clear to me what the difference is.

Clicking the track number selects the track

Clicking the track name gives the track focus

 

To see the difference:

• Click on a track number  - this selects the contents of the track
• Click on the track name of a similar track then CTRL+V pastes the selected data into this track at Now time.

If you want to edit the track on the side mixer thing, you would click the name of the track. And yea, the number just selects, like if you want to select multiple tracks.
