Quick Anwers for new Live user? Thanks

(This was accidently posted in Bugs and Problems, but I guess I can't delete it from there by logging on)

Are there other tools besides the draw tool available when editing the clips?

Is there a way to decide which folder audio clips are stored in for self-contain songs? I don’t see that in the Preferences section.
Is there a way in XP Windows to set all folder views for "List." mode instead of "icon"? I keep setting it for list and then later I go back and I am seeing icons again.

Sometimes I record a sequence of several scenes and it then plays back that exact order of scenes, but many times, I seem to go thru the same recording of scenes process, but it doesn’t seem to have recorded the scene order? (Is there something that affects/negates the scene-recording process that I may not understand?)

On the far right, when I am creating scenes, I sometimes see numbers like 22 or 10 etc by the scene numbers… what do those numbers mean?
Is there a way to view the recorded scene order, in raw numbers? (Scene 1: 5 bars, scene 3: 4 bars? as a list that is easy to understand and edited?)

Is there a way to quickly delete one scene from a recorded scene order?
When I was in arranging view at one point, I noticed that everything was grayed out unless it was in play mode. I stop the song, and all clips in the view turn gray, I then play song, and all clips are back to normal colors. I don’t understand what that means.

When I was recording scenes, I saw the circles that indicate the loop time, and that turn as each individual loop plays. Moments later they were gone from each audio track, and had been replaced by colored rectangles that seemed to move as the loops were played. What makes those icons change? Why did they change?

Are there other forums that are as active as this (or more active) for Live users?

based on the questions, yep, go RTFM.

or is the problem that you don't have a manual? gee why not? in which case, at least go buy the live 4 power book.
