Aha

It's scaling. Although the display of the Mute Track event shows
numbers 1-8, these aren't the numbers "underneath". You need to think
in terms of the full range - so your example would work if you cranked
up your randomise from 3 to, I dunno, twenty something. My maths is
poo - give it a go and it should work. Alternatively, Colin can tell
me I'm an idiot when he gets back.. 8-)

To reiterate, even though it looks like you're adding 3 to the track
number, you're actually adding it to the unseen number that is
rendered to be in the range 1-8 on the display. 

I think there should be an event "Add nn to Aux x value". Would be
useful.
