+ Each track shows a <dfn>header section</dfn>, for settings relevant to
+ this track only.
+</p>
<p>
- A typical control area or <dfn>track header</dfn> for an audio track is
- shown below:
+ Changing the height of the track can be done either:
</p>
+<ul>
+ <li>
+ By using the <kbd class="menu">Track > Height</kbd> menu. The
+ <kbd class="menu">Fit selection (Vertical)</kbd> (default: <kbd>F</kbd>)
+ is particularly useful.</li>
+ <li>
+ By double-clicking an empty space in the track header, to toggle the
+ track's height between the <em>Normal</em> and <em>Largest</em> track
+ heights from this menu.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ Or by grabbing the bottom of the track header with a <kbd class="mouse">
+ left</kbd> click and drag.

+ </li>
+</ul>
-<p>
- An audio track has the same
- <a href="@@bus-controls">controls as a bus</a>, with the
- addition of two extras.
+<p>
+ At the top-left of the controls is the name of the track, which can be
+ edited by double-clicking on it. The new name must be unique within the
+ session.
+</p>
+<p>
+ Underneath the name is the track's main level fader. Changing it will affect
+ the whole track :
</p>
+<ul>
+ <li><kbd class="mouse">dragging</kbd> will change the fader's value as
+ per the mouse's position</li>
+ <li><kbd class="mod1 mouse">clicking</kbd> will set the fader to −∞
+ </li>
+ <li><kbd class="mod3 mouse">clicking</kbd> will reset the fader to its original
+ 0dB position.</li>
+</ul>
