To be equal, I suppose the legacy tracks and utility tracks must work exactly the same way, but I see Charlie’s point and I was very careful not to commit to supporting a particular solution. Making a few dozen tracks all controllable by radio buttons and F5 would be a serious rewrite.

PG Music has not stated how this will be handled, to my knowledge, and I can still see some version of ‘separate but equal’ being plausible. If the slogan ‘all tracks are equal’ had not been used, and instead they had said something like ‘new this year, additional tracks for storage’ there wouldn’t be the fuss over ‘equal’ and we would just get our work done.
