Description

Enhancement Summary

Currently you can increase the size of the tracks but you can't reduce them to a smaller size than the standard one, and this is a problem for those projects that have many tracks because you have to be constantly scrolling, but this is solved by decreasing the size of the tracks and having a visible scrollable button that controls the vertical zoom of the tracks like this photo:

Implementation Details / Mockup

Before
Tamaño minimo de las pistas - original

After
Tamaño minimo de las pistas

1- In this photo the tracks are smaller than the standard size.
2- A scrollable button that controls the vertical size of the tracks.
3- When the tracks are at the minimum size:

A- The titles of the tracks and clips are shown.
B- The "Vol" and "Pan" titles are hidden.
C- The LED indicator for playing the instruments is reduced.
D- The icons of the editors are shown, (the one of the Piano Roll is used instead of the icons of each instrument).
E- The LED screen of the mixer channels is hidden.
F- The tracks are not seen cut but scaled.

Research direction

Start with the issue's Before/After mockups and the listed minimum-size behavior; no source files or tests are identified in the issue. Trace the existing track-size and vertical-zoom controls, then verify that the smaller tracks preserve the specified titles, indicators, editor icons, mixer display, and scaling behavior.
