Hello everyone. Just picked up 2022 and I'm having a ball with the new features. I'm having one issue I bet you veterans can answer easily.
Let's say I have hold/shot/rest somewhere and a solo instrument playing on Utility 3. How can I make Utility 3 not follow the hold/shot/rest? In the olden days of 2020 I just used the first letter of the instrument (bass, piano, etc..) and that did it. I've watched a few videos and looked for the answer but I've either missed it or looked in the wrong place.
Any help would be appreciated.
Edit: While using the Multi riff feature, there are even some places that ignore the instruction (hold,rest,shot) entirely. Grrrrrr. It just seems random. I must be doing something wrong.

Hi Pete,
Currently you can't exclude the Utility tracks that way for shots/holds/rests.
A good way to do rests is to
1. select the track in the mixer, open the Audio Edit window
2. Select the node automation mode (blue line w/ dotes)
3. Click to add a node and drag the volume line down where you want the rest, repeat but drag it back up at the end of the rest.
For shots and holds, I suggest:
1. Enter the chords without the exclusions.
2. Generate, then freeze the Utility track (click the snowflake button in the mixer)
3. Re-enter the exclusions.
