Is it possible to hide audio tracks ?

Question

Hi, I'm working as assistant editor on a project with an average of 8 audio tracks per video clips. It's pretty annoying to edit with all these audio the editor will never use (He only uses the mixdown track, the 7 others are muted ...). But I need these tracks because a sound mixer will work on it.
A solution could be to sync at the end of the editing but it's a waste of time. Also, I could merge the audio but it creates a new sequence for each clip and it takes to much time too.
Is there a way to hide these tracks I know Avid MC easily do that for example. There must be a way to do that, I can't imagine an editor of a feature film works with all the audio tracks...

(I'm sorry for my english, french here and I'm not comfortable with english).

Unfortunately, it's not possible to hide tracks in Premiere Pro. If you can write (or find) a feature request for this, I'd vote for it.

A far from perfect workaround is to create Track Height Presets where the unneeded tracks are at minimum height, while the tracks you need are at normal height. Bind this to a shortcut with just one key, and you can activate it with the push of a button (key).

Another workflow would be to cut with few tracks, and then add the other tracks at the end, using Match Frame. It's a bit labor intensive, but can be done fairly quickly. I'm sure it could be done with a script too.
