Deleting Tracks

In Composer you can either delete a track or temporarily hide a track. If you delete a track, it is permanently removed from the song. If you save the song as a MIDI file or MidiNotate file, the deleted track will not be included in the file.

In contrast, if you "hide" a track, it is only temporarily removed from the current part. If you save the song as a MIDI file or MidiNotate file, the hidden track will also be saved. If the MIDI file is later reopened, the hidden track will display again. If the MidiNotate file is later reopened, the hidden track will still be temporarily hidden, but can be made visible again. For instructions, see Changing Which Tracks Are Displayed in a Part.
