Thanks to the new 5.1 update we finally have decent visibility management in Studio One for easier navigation in a larger template.
I did a video that shows my personal TOP 5 features. I apologize for my English - nobody will miss that it's not my first language
Before 5.1 I made some scripts for myself that cover similar functions (Only Show Tracks with Events, Filter Tracks, Search Tracks) that worked quite well (although not quite as fast as the 5.1 features) but I'm really happy that PSL now added them natively. The great thing (in my opinion) is that all commands are available as commands so we can assign key commands to them and these can be used in macros.
Because I got so many requests to publish my Orchestral Template Toolbar, I made a second video to showcase the macros in my template (420 tracks).
It's no magic, it's just macros I built for myself to filter different instrument sections or sample libraries and navigate through my template (when folders like STRINGS, BRASS etc. are used). Pretty easy to create them with the new macro commands. I uploaded 4 macros ("Show Tracks with Events" and 3 "Navigate" macros) that can be duplicated to create own ones. But for everyone who does not want to do the work to add the buttons for every sample library, you can get them for the value of a coffee (because it took me some hours to figure out the best search strings for the > 100 library names). (If it's not allowed to post the link, let me know and I remove it.)
A custom macro toolbar page for working with large library templates in Studio One 5 New (March 13, 2021): This macro toolbar has been updated to version 1.1 with new features and improvements. It also uses new functions in Studio One 5.2. See below ...

The 4 macros can be downloaded by clicking the "preview" link in the top right corner.
Maybe it's helpful for some. There are a couple of different ways to do this... for example, if you don't use folders and want to filter or search the tracks anyway, you could search strings like "Violin", "Viola", "Cello" etc. instead of "Strings". These would find tracks like "Areia Violins Pizz" too although they are not in a STRINGS folder. Maybe this approach doesn't work as reliable as the folder solution (unless you have one common thing like "Perc" or "Pandora" or "True Strike" to get your percussion tracks, for example).
Did someone already check out the new features? Do you use the "Find Track" / "Find Channel" function? And are there commands you miss (for example I miss "Show Tracks with Selected Events" or a native version of my "Show Tracks with Events" macro)?
