Zoom tracks
Tracks in the Tracks area can be zoomed in conjunction with, or independent of, the Tracks area
zoom controls (and Waveform Zoom slider). There is a default zoom setting for tracks when a
window is first opened, which provides a compromise between visibility of text and regions, and
working space in the Tracks area.
