| Summary | 0001479: manual contains two sections about adding tracks to a session. | ||||
| Description | There are two sections in the manual that describe adding tracks to a session, one is in the Sessions section and the other in the tracks and busses section. There doesn't seem to be any appreciable difference between the two so it looks as if someone wrote one not being aware the other existed. There is already a adding_tracks.xml file containing one of the sections, I think it would be appropriate to consolidate and improve the two sections and then just XInclude that file from the tracks and busses section. | ||||

Added a patch that removes one of the two sections on adding tracks and slightly improves the remaining one. This is a fairly minor patch and i'll commit it in a few days if there isn't any negative feedback. |
