+ Activating automation for a track is done by clicking the <kbd class="menu">A</kbd> icon on the
+ <a href="@@audio-track-controls">track head</a> and checking the
+ type of automation needed. A new "pseudo-track" will appear, showing the
+ waveform in the background, called an "automation lane", where the value
+ of the parameter can be edited : the x axis is the time, and the y axis is
+ the value of the parameter.
+</p>
+<p>
+ If the <kbd class="option">Edit > Show Automation Lane on Touch</kbd>
+ is checked, clicking any parameter in a plugin window, a hardware controller, etc...
+ will result in this parameter's automation lane being temporarily shown,
+ and clicking another parameter will hide this lane to show the new one.
