I'd like to do that too. I'd also like to be able to preview what's in a
part before I select it, and various other tricks.
But I don't think it can be crammed into the P3 UI very elegantly.
So these things tend to be added to the 'P4 TBI list' (which, after being
sidelined by another project, is moving along again).

How many fingers have you got, dude ? ;-)
If you want 7 out of 8 tracks to carry on playing from the first part, and
you want to switch one track to part 8, you may need to get your nose
involved.
I can see how it might be made to work, but it would require some finger
gymnastics.

Could there be a bar loop set up there ?
Or GbH ?

The MIDI mixer was added after knob grabbing events, so I felt it would be
more backward-compatible to keep the mixer controls away from knobs that may
already have been configured for events.
I suppose you do have to manually enable the MIDI mixer, so maybe there
isn't really a conflict.
