[Lmuse-developer] why do the global structure operations not operate on muted tracks?

[Florian J. <flo...@we...>]

Hi

why do the global structure operations not operate on muted tracks? to 
me, "muted" does not mean "ignored by all operations" but only "ignored 
when playing".

i often mute tracks in arrangements because i want to test (and indeed 
to test later, after some structural operations ;) ) if it sounds better 
with the track enabled, disabled, or only enabled at certain parts. 
while working, these parts are muted.

is there any reason for muse's behaviour, or can one safely change that 
to "also operate on muted tracks"?
or should we create a dialog for these operations, letting the user 
select whether to ignore muted parts or not?

greetings
