But I wonder, is there is an advantage to disabling a track rather than leaving it empty or muting it?




Muting a track is global. For example, if you mute a trackname, then load the next song, that track will still be muted.

Using the Save with Patches window and not checking a track is saved with the particular songfile, which is nice for going through a folder of songs such as on a live gig or practice session and you may want a certain track not heard in one song, but need to hear that track in the next and don't want to take a chance on forgetting to unmute that track when the song loads and plays, not nice on the live performance at all.

With the MIDI styles, you can't leave a certain track empty if the style loads with that track. Next time the song is loaded or next time you hit Play, which regenerates the song, the track will come back.
