+       <kbd style="color:red;">&#9679;</kbd> recording
+       status of each track to generate new playlists.</kbd></li>
+</ul>
+<p>
+  Creating new playlists is both cheap in terms of CPU and memory, and easy
+  to revert by changing the track's playlist back to its previous one. Playlists
+  on different tracks can also share the same name, allowing for a better
+  workflow when recording: Ardour suggests <em>Take.<i>#n</i></em> as the
+  name for each playlist, so that they stay somewhat correlated.
