Tips for how to manage automation tracks

[cbrust]

One thing that I'm not quite clear on is where automation tracks are stored.  If automation tracks are created in the context of a set list editor (as opposed to the song editor), then it seems that I would need to re-create an automation track for a song every time I add that song to a new setlist.  That seems very inefficient, so I assume I'm missing something.  Can an automation track be bound to a song so that it always comes along with the song when added to any setlist?

Sorry if this topic has been discussed, but I couldn't find the answer using the search feature.

The automation track is part of the song and will be available in every set list where you use that song.

Thanks, Arlo.  So the automation track can only be created/edited in the context of a set list view, but its data/metadata is persisted with the song and will be instantaneously available to that song in any setlist.  Thank you.
