placed in a separate folder – when this is selected, the In-
spector shows the folder and the group channels it con-
tains. You can click one of the group channels shown in the
folder to have the Inspector show the settings for that group
channel – this way, you do not have to “open” a folder track
to access the settings for the group channels in it.
Marker tracks
When the marker track is selected, the Inspector shows
the marker list. For more information, see the chapter “Us-
ing markers” on page 108.
Ruler tracks
For ruler tracks, the Inspector is not used.
Video tracks
When a video track is selected, the Inspector contains a
Mute button for interrupting video playback.
Video tracks make use of the Notepad Inspector tab.

windows and various project settings and functions.
You can show/hide most of the toolbar elements (except

the context menu. The following options are available:
Ö How to further set up the toolbar is described in the
