Pairs of arrow-shaped "Go-to" bar buttons appear in many edit
windows. Some edit functions take effect beginning at or only on the
last "go-to" bar you manually set. To go to any bar quickly, hold an
arrow button or one of the command keys for bar scrolling, or simply
press one of the locator buttons and then fine-tune the bar location.

1.5 Automute
In order to offer a perspective of a full Werk, we'll jump right away to
a preview of Automute - a function that is normally not used until
you have created a few tracks. Then we'll zoom in to the pattern-
making level.

maxWerk plays looping patterns on thirteen of its tracks, not
counting the Melody track, which we will discuss separately. With
Automute active, you can have Basic Loop and Drum tracks either
mute or continue playing as they reach each new bar. The
information that controls this appears for editing in the Automute
window. The Automute track strips are essentially horizontal bar
graphs of 128 bars that have a vertical range of 1, so that each
track stores a value of 0 or 1 for each bar. Values of 1 appear as
colored bars in the strip and 0's are empty, and the thirteen fully
enabled strips appear entirely filled-in in a new file, for the default
state is that all tracks are enabled all the time. Automuting may be
enabled or bypassed for all tracks at once by means of a key
command. Bear in mind as you create track material that you'll be
able to introduce creative track muting and interweaving of patterns
into your composition in whatever way suits your creative style.

The first of the individual Automute track strip controls is a check
(toggle) box to temporarily mute GS instrument parts by means of
system exclusive MIDI commands. For tracks in GS mode, this
provides a handy temporary way to silence parts without affecting
stored data, even though the Automute function may be enabled.

You can enter Automutes by hand, but two different ways of using
the track label switch-button make the job of editing across many
bars easier. A single click of the label brings up a small window
