Why are the music channels in the interface so wide?

Hi. Why are the music channels in the MM interface so wide / thick? The zoom -+ button only reduces the size of the channels once then does nothing. But if I hover and drag over a channel divider line in the channels list I can make one channel really thin. this proves to me it can be done but then if I click on another divider the previous one snaps back to its previous wide state. it so infuriating and unnecessary. I'm on a 1080p monitor and I can only see like 4 channels at a time. There is absolutely no reason they need to be so wide. Is there a fix planned for this?

Hi,

There seems to be some kind of initialisation error in the new MusicMaker. Try pressing on the Tab key once to see if that resolves it. After that, you should be able to resize the tracks (height, not width) using the right-click on a track and selecting one of the track height options.

Hi John. Yes that seems to work. Relief. Seems like a bit of a work around though. Hope a future update will sort it out. thanks again.

Thanks for the update - not a big deal to get back on the skinny track.
