I start with a rootcontainer and add a pack container ..divided this packcontainer ..then idecided to to start over with only the rootcontainer
I found difficult from this container figuration to go back to the start position..with only a rootcontainer in synfire.
Perhaps some new commands could help?
Can there be a new command : restore rootcontainer ( to remove the pack containers) or another command.. unpack container(s): to restore the rootcontainer (this one is more handy maybe, because i divided the packcontainer and can restore partially the rootcontainer.)

Only undo can restore a previous state.
Also you can save different versions of the arrangement that you may need to return to later.

What ever program I'm using I save every change I make, i sometimes try to put verybrief description in title too..
It's saved me a tremendous amount to time over the years..

i remember from one of the videos, andre marking out the time line across multiple containers, creating a new container (its length matched the marked out region) then snapshoting the new containers instruments meant that that container contained all instruments and phrases for the marked out region. This was used for exporting part of a song to a new arrangement. However maybe if you mark the whole root container and follow the process you will end up with a container the full length of the song, delete all other containers and make that the root or drag the instruments to the root?
However as you like user friendly maybe its easier to click undo till you get back to where you were.

i don't want to think too much (effort ) how about reconstructing the rootcontainer back and doing this by by a serie of undo's ( Ctrl + Z) is also possible ..one command to restore is also convenient.
Can't follow exactly what the purpose has been from this video.
