-The first macro can be copied or moved to a macro&executor button and lets zou enable&disable the function of the other macros.
+The first macro defines a custom variable ''Enabled'', sets it to True by default, and makes it possible to toggle it on/off while showing its status (with [[macros:active_binding|]]).
-Then, in order to achieve the intended behaviour:
+The other macros check if this variable is TRUE and toggle Playbacks to designated pages.
-  - create a cuelist with as many cues as you need to toggle pages with tracks, and open it in Playback View
-  - into each cue insert the respective macro (click on the ''Macros'' cell, click ''[Add]'', select the macro...)
-  - make this cuelist run by timecode and learn the correct timestamps
-This way timecode controls this cuelist which in turn controls your Playbacks pages unless this mechanism is disabled.
