Summary0010284: Any "Layers" setting change ("Overlaid" vs "Stacked") should mutate *all selected tracks*...
DescriptionCurrently, it appears that if you want to enforce/change a certain layering style across multiple tracks, you have to adjust *one at a time*, which can be very tedious...

Therefore, it would be nice if you could select multiple tracks, right-click on one, change the Layers setting, and have it apply to all selected!

Thanks for considering! : )

@mkindred -Nice!
I had no idea about that. : )
I'll try that later.

Regardless, selection of multiple tracks -> right-click -> Layers... -> (change) should still (imo) mutate it for all selected.
Mostly because newcomers (...or even Ardour 'veterans' like myself o___o) won't immediately know the proper key-command to use. : )

Thanks,
