OK, I'm creating a great sad cowboy type country backing track, I've assigned live instruments to each of the 5 default tracks thus:
B=Bass
P=Guitar 1
D=Drums
G=Guitar 2
S=Pedal Steel
I've also recorded a piano solo on the solo track, now here's the big problem, the arranger/chord window can only utilize the 5 default tracks when sustaining the instruments (I'm not sure what you would call it when using either .. or ...), for example, the last 4th bar of a verse would have these chords to lead into the chorus (notice the ... after the G):
C, Dm, F, G...
Now when I use G... it sustains all the instruments for the duration of the last 4 beats of the 4th bar, or if I use G...D, which would sustain all but the drums, but I can only use any or a combination of the default 5 tracks, BPDGS, but as I have a piano solo on the solo track, and on that 4th bar first beat for the remaining 3 beats, until the next bar, I want to sustain all tracks but still have the solo track playing, for example, if I want just the default piano track (now assigned as a guitar track), I would use G...P which would effectively sustain all tracks (including the solo track) except the default piano track and it would play the instrument assigned to it, but if I used F5 to edit that bar and mute everything except the solo track, there is no instrument sustain, just a sudden stop, which I don't want.
Is there a way to do this?

On the 4th bar first beat for the remaining 3 beats, until the next bar, enter g... for everything to sustain (this is called a hold)
With all of the tracks sustaining to your satisfaction, freeze all the tracks. Remove the freeze from the piano soloist and regenerate the track but before you regenerate the Soloist Piano, change the chord in the 4th bar to play a G rather than G... . The frozen sustained instruments won't regenerate ignoring the regeneration and play the sustain. The result should be all tracks sustained with the Solo track playing.

There may be other ways, but the method that Charlie described above is the one that I would also use also.
