+ Ardour does not impose any particular ordering of tracks and busses in
either the editor or mixer windows. The default arrangements are as follows:
</p>
-<p>
+<ul>
+ <li>
In the <dfn>Editor</dfn> window, the Master bus will always be on top unless
hidden. Tracks and busses will appear in their initial order, from top to
bottom. The monitor section (if used) is never visible in the editor window.

In the <dfn>Mixer</dfn> window, the tracks and busses will be displayed in
their initial order, from left to right. The Master bus is always on the far
right and occupies its own pane, so that it is always visible no matter how
many other mixer strips are present. If a Monitor section is used, it shows
up at the right edge of the mixer window; it can also be torn off into a
separate window.
