12 User Groups
When a new project is created, there are no User Groups and all project tracks are considered as not
belonging to any user group. Note that this means that the project file format does not really change until
after user groups are specifically added to a project, so creating a new project is exactly like starting out
with a pre-existing project; neither has any user group information.
In order to use groups, groups must be created and then tracks assigned to groups. The user can create one
group at a time and does not have to create any groups if none are desired. The MX software allows up to
12 user groups to be created. All tracks that are not grouped can be viewed as the 13th group, but there
are only 12 user defined groups.
User Groups window
A User Groups window is associated with a particular Edit Window. Load a project, open the edit
window for that machine, then select User Groups from the window menu. As usual, window selections
can be done with keyboard shortcuts also, but note that an Edit Window or Markers Window must be the
front window or the User Groups window will not be accessible.
The user groups window displays the group color, number and group name of all groups for the loaded
project. If the Edit window is in multi-machine mode, the User Groups window will display a separate list
of groups for each machin

Closing the edit window will also close the user groups window.

ultiple selections. (Exactly the same as other list views in MX-View.) Do
