Summary	0006315: Collapse grouped tracks feature
Description	Back when I used Cakewalk Sonar 8, Sonar had a nice feature that allowed the user to create groups of tracks (which Ardour does) and then collapse the group in the main view to a single row (which Ardour doesn't do). This would be a very useful visual workflow option. The workaround is to hide individual tracks. While that's useful in itself, it's unwieldy when one wishes to one-click-hide all tracks assigned to a group, especially when all tracks in that group have their output routed to a bus for processing.
Tags	No tags attached.

This is great for a percussion group, because you can still see the main sections quite well from an arrangement perspective.
