AndreaPaz, it sound strange to me you are speaking so.
If an User want the Cinelerra-GG standard behaviour for the 
Armed/Disarmed track She/He can use GANG None!
No separateor new function is needed because it is already there: GANG 
None. And in the Manual_20210731 section 5.2.1 (Displaying tracks: 
Ganged mode) is written very well:
*1. Gang None: this is the default mode and is the traditional way 
Cinelerra operates. If you never toggle the "Gang Tracks" button, 
everything operates normally as it always has.*
For default a new user will find Cinelerra-GG in "Gang None" mode. If an 
User press the GANG button (and other buttons) without reading the 
Manual and without know what She/He am doing, I am sorry, Cinelerra-GG 
is not for you.

I use all the GANG modes for save space and other, without any problem. 
May be my workflow is different from yours.

I hope NO. Here, both Andrew_R and AndreaPaz, you are messing things up 
(I hope the English traduction is right).
Pleeease, don't touch things that works very well. Thank you!

It is already there! You can move more tracks together Arming that tracks!
You can see it at 
http://www.visi1.org/cinelerra-gg_tutorials#ReArrangeTracksOrder
If you want to group the edits in different track it is written very 
well in the Manula_20210731, section 5.5.4  (Grouping edits) and so on. 
You can see that at 
http://www.visi1.org/cinelerra-gg_tutorials#DragAndDropEditing (old 
video tutorial).

I think that many of you read the Manual but many don't. An User who 
want to use Cinelerra-GG or Cinelerra MUST READ the manua! The community 
will help in the forum or other places. There is no point in changing 
the code when it works fine! Or add a no sense function!

Sorry for that long sentences. I think so. I think I'll get out of this 
discussion.
Thanks!
