I can’t seem to find a way to open a rack and see its routings and bindings. Thought it might be in the View menu, but no luck there.
I can’t get further than top level routings and the split shows the top level and either the current rack’s routings or its bindings.
How can I view rack routings in the top half and the bindings in the bottom half?
Hi Adrian, AFAIK there is no way to do that. When there is a split window the song level is top window and rack level is lower window. You can’t split the view for the binding and routes on the same level.

Aha. That explains that.
Anyone think this might be a useful FR? Instant verification of routing/muting bindings?
FWIW you can leave the current selected binding edit window open and switch to the routing view and it will stay on top so you can see the test of the bindings. But, yes, I would like it if it was possible to split (on the same level) the split view so I could see the routing on top and bindings on the bottom and in the case of song level the show notes window instead of the bindings as well.
Oh sure…. As we often work on a series of related bindings there’s constant diving between the routing and binding windows.
We have the split screen architecture in place, it would be a productivity enhancer to provide rack routing and bindings in one view.

Feature request?
This sounds like a fun issue to attack when I get back home in a couple of weeks.
Please add any comments and thoughts on how it should work and I’ll see what I can come up with.

Thanks for taking a look at this.
I’m visualizing this as as routing view being presented as it would be when you open a rack.
The current upper Split View presents the top level routing or bindings.
The lower Split View presents the rack routing or bindings.
My preference would be for the upper pane to present the rack routings and the lower pane the rack bindings.
Racks within racks could follow the same protocol.
FWIW, I don’t mind whether upper or lower pane presents bindings/routings.
In this way, the user can directly see the affect of routings being manipulated by bindings.
To further enhance this, it might be worth considering whether one can dive through a hierarchy in either pane.
It might be worth considering allowing a hierarchy to be dived into for nested racks, perhaps with a sync button keeping the current routing/binding presentation locked together.
Releasing the sync could allow independent up or down navigation into nested racks and their bindings.
This would be useful in situations where a source and destination are not directly related, and occupy different levels in a song.
Anyway, that’s obviously a more complex operation. Right now, I find myself diving between rack routes and bindings which creates moments of mental disconnect for my aging cerebrum.
