Option to always display mute solo and instrument on left of screen

Not sure if this is available already, if so please le me know...

I'd love to be able to keep the instrument names, mute and solo buttons displayed on the left of the screen as the song plays and scrolls across the screen. This would be awesome with the new ghost view (global overview) described about the latest updates.

Very difficult to do without permanently wasting screen space for these controls. The phrase vectors should have the most room possible.

This is a known challenge on our agenda. Unless there is a way to scroll only the vectors while the other widgets stay in place, it will be difficult as supertonic noted.

I understand it takes screen space, but would be a nice option...I like to mute or solo instruments to see what impact they have.. What about a thin vertically arranged label and buttons either at the left before the figures or at the right hand end, then you just scroll a smaller window?

I agree about wasting screen space.

How about a color change of some sort for a muted track?

What about ....right click on the track and have a pop up menu that gives the tack details eg instrument etc, and has menu optios to mute or unmute the track?

I scond Blacksun's suggestion, If I'm working on a linear arrangement, I'm forever going back to measure 1 to double check the instrument want to temporarily mute an instrument etc. I'm using follow transport for playhead, I have to STOP to get back to beginning of track .
