Description
### Enhancement Summary
This idea is like #735, but it also adds a new kind of "instrument" that is essentially a folder. It's only purpose would be to store other instruments. Users should be able to collapse track groups, this will improve vertical navigation and workflow. Users should be able to choose a custom color for folders, making things more identifiable.
### Implementation Details / Mockup
Make a new class that inherits `TrackView`, save with the parent structure described in #735, use drag and drop to populate folders and add a folder type to the track enum (so a string pair key is generated for it)

Research direction
Start by reviewing issue #735 and the existing TrackView structure described in the issue. Trace how the track enum and string-pair keys are represented, then determine the scope of the folder type, parent structure, collapsing, custom colors, and drag-and-drop behavior. Done means instruments can be organized into collapsible, colored folders and saved with their parent structure.
