Edit track parameters

Each track has a set of parameters. The parameters available depend on the track type (some
parameters are common to all track types, while some are specific to audio tracks or software
instrument tracks only). You can view and edit parameters for the selected track in the Track
inspector, located below the Region and Event inspectors.

When Show Advanced Tools is selected in the Advanced preferences pane, additional track

parameters are available, including Channel, Freeze Mode, Q-Reference, Delay, Flex Mode, and
Staff Style parameters.
