Just a couple of requests, if you don't mind: 1) If you add a RT to a Utility Track, please include the name of that RT track. 2) All "regular tracks can be frozen, but Utility tracks can't - currently. Those couple of additions would be much appreciated by many! Thanks, PG - AWESOME JOB!!!

It can be edited. If this changes in the future as requested, and the Utility Tracks become like the original RealTracks (or MIDI tracks other than Melody and Soloist), then we will need to be able to freeze them.

Thanks, Matt. I'm not copying a RT to a Utility Track, I am adding a NEW RT. I want that one to be able to frozen if I choose to. Makes more sense? Thanks, brother!
