By default, number tracks 1-24.

Why
1) It supports the idea of all tracks are equal.
2) It makes it more convenient and easier to communicate when working between one track and another. No need for long loss stepchild black sheep "utility track".
3) It is the standard convention that's used on all DAWs

Naysayers will say: But this will break the way I'm used to seeing the drums on track 3 and the Bass on track 1.
You will continue to see Bass on track 1 and Drums on track 3 and Piano on track 2, because that's the way the 11,000 styles will load them no change no difference.

PGM resistance: But this would obsolete many videos. Such is life. Just think how long your videos your new videos will last. wink

Thru track made sense to put it there 20 years ago.
Through track belong down with Master track. AFAIK It can't be used for anything in the track view.
