Hi Mark-

   I agree.  Due to mixing, the 6-Track format would
be a bear for selecting the right voices.  Maybe all
strings or all brass would be a direction to go.

   But, it may even get more bizzare(slap me if I'm
wrong on this).  If the track widths are correct, and
you have the selector centered on a voice, you should
have a little sound from each side voice.  Using your
selections as an example; center on Flute, and you
would hear a little Split Choir and M300A violins in
the mix.  What a party!!
