Description

### Enhancement Summary
Increase the minimum required length to hide the rest of the name of an automation track or beat/bassline track

#### Justification
Automation track doesn't have any knobs where other tracks do. Therefore, the minimum track length to show the full name of the track should be higher. Same for beat/bassline track
See:

the "ain" of "gain" aren't showing because of the "..." which has been placed to append the name of the automation track. This is not required because there are no knobs.
