Guide: Groups

Organize your timeline with Smart Groups.

Using Groups

Groups allow you to gather multiple tracks. This is useful for separating different sections of a song or different types of instruments (e.g., all percussion tracks in a single group).

Group Management

Groups allow you to organize your tracks, which is especially useful for complex projects with many instruments.

Create a Group

  1. In the Track Management Panel, click the Create a Group button.
  2. A dialog will appear:
    • Enter the Group Name (e.g., Drums, Melody).
  3. The new group appears in the list.

Manage Tracks in a Group

  • Add: Click the (+) button next to the group name to move existing tracks into it.
  • Remove: Click the (-) button next to a track inside a group to move it out.

Group Options

Just like individual tracks, groups have options:

  • Edit: Rename the group.
  • Delete: Delete the group (tracks inside will be moved out or deleted depending on your choice).
  • Hide (Eye Button): Click the eye to the left of the group name to Mute/Hide all tracks it contains at once. This is great for focusing on a specific part of the music.

Logic and Hierarchy

  • Visibility: Toggle group visibility to declutter your workspace.
  • Grouped Actions: Apply changes to all tracks in a group simultaneously.
  • Export: Groups are preserved in the JSON export for logical organization in your game.
