===== Explanation =====

The first macro
  - calls the second macro which releases some playbacks
  - calls the third macro which clears some highlights (i.e. makes those handles not highlighted)
  - fires another playback
  - sets a specified playback handle to highlight

===== How to use it =====

  - [[:macros:deploying|make this macro available]]

Essentially this is an approach to set handles to mutually fire and highlight but would require a lot of predefined handles and macros. It is more a snippet to show how some functions can work together.
