Live Mode Mute Switch (LMMS)

Hey!

I'm thinking about playing a live gig with LMMS, playing some parts (or all parts, if enough musicians can meet on stage) via MIDI controllers live from original LMMS project - using synths and effects.

And I thought that a special mute function would be very helpful here.
Right now, if I mute a track, I can't play it live from MIDI keyboard, because it's muting the whole track, not just the clips on that track.

There could be a special mute function for tracks, that would mute the regions, but not the whole track - making it playable via MIDI controllers.

The special mute could be launched with mouse right click or leftclick with Alt or something.

It could be indicated with a Yellow LED instead of the GREEN one.

Tooltips should inform about this plus I could make a demo video if it's implemented ;)

The same for instrument and automation tracks should apply.

Any thoughts?

No files, tests, or entry points are named in the issue. Start by tracing existing track mute behavior and its interaction with live MIDI input, then clarify the interaction, indicator, tooltip, and instrument and automation track requirements before defining what done means.
