Track Numbering and Hidden Tracks

In the Mix and Edit windows, Track Position Numbers can include hidden tracks in their numbering sequence, or ignore them, as follows:

Numbers are only assigned to tracks that are shown (when Track Position Numbers Stay with Hidden Tracks is not selected in the Display Preferences page). In this case, active tracks are then numbered sequentially. Hidden tracks are un-numbered.

– or – 

Tracks keep their Track Position Numbers even when hidden (when Track Position Numbers Stay With Hidden Tracks is selected in the Display Preferences page).
