So when in arrangement i often will choose two tracks and widen them Vertically to see the Before and after waveform shape when sending something through outboard Gear and back.

So i was wondering if there is a way to Zoom in the Vertical width of tracks so that the are zoomed in exactly the same amount or else i cant rely on the optical illustration. Especially when one track is already Wider then i am never sure i matched the second one i am dragging to become wider as it is almost scaleless. The only way i know is make them maximum narrow and then highlight them both and pull them Wider. Then they are proportional. However if one as i said is already wider then i have extra moves to make. I am sure the professors here have a better solution than
myself

Is there an indication somewhere of how zoomed in a track is that i am missing?

Are you asking for a way to vertically zoom tracks while keeping their relative height difference/zoom factor?
If that's it, then select all tracks and use the alt+vertical scroll gesture.

Yes to the first part of your question.

However am looking if there is a way to „match one Vertical height to the other with certainty“ and not only by site. Like if i there is
a number somewhere showing how much Vertical size one clip has so i can match another without having to colapse the one that is Widened in order to then drag them at the same time. Trying to avoid the extra moves to achieve this i.e trying to avoid having to reset all in order to start anew

Well, in this case I'm afraid the answer is no.
There's the H shortcut though, which distributes the available vertical space between all tracks.
