Hi Brian,
Quote:

I am using a bluegrass style that has a lead acoustic real track already assigned to the piano track. I assume I can reference that track in the same way you describe?


Yep, you sure can. Just use mute/normal for the Piano track.
Quote:

Will volume settings also be saved as manipulated during a playback?


Yes they will. When the song is saved, all bar settings are saved with it.

I found that PDF but I did not find any procedure outline for that topic.(soloist medleys) Just a "you can" reference.


I cheated and used CNTRL-F to find the phrase "soloist medley". The "Now let's make a soloist medley" section begins on page 11 of the 2011 New Features guide. (It's on page 18 of the 2011.5 New Features guide.)

One thing that might help make using "Bar Settings" a bit quicker for you is to use F5 after you click on the bar. (When you right-click on a bar, you'll notice that "Bar Settings" has F5 to the right of it. This means that F5 is the shortcut key for "Bar Settings".)

All the best. From what I can tell, you're starting to get this program under control!
Noel
