Can you mute MIDI notes without cutting them?

Song window. Now there's something I've never used and from which I could probably benefit.
I always have bits of ideas, takes, sequences all over the place within a project and it tends to slows me down. I'm not very good at discarding things completely even if the track has developed considerably.
The song window could be my friend. Thanks, Shooshie.

Just remember that the Song Window feels kind of primitive. I does one thing, but it does it very well. It pieces together sequences of any length, in any way you want them: vertically, horizontally, overlapping, stacking, or just plain end-to-end. You can make columns that enable precise alignment. Then, when you get it right, convert it into a new sequence, and resume editing in that. (no editing of sequences in the Song Window)

There's one thing it won't do. You can't have a separate tempo for each chunk you put in the Song Window. I compensate for that by scaling the length of each Chunk so that it works at the master tempo. One chunk can be chosen for the Conductor Track. Then all others will follow it. So, setting the tempo of each chunk for the final tempo at which it's going to be played, I scale it to the length that makes it work at that tempo. (make sense?) Then I do the Lego Block thing in the Song Window, select all, make a new sequence, and it's done.

I often have sections of audio way off at bar 300 just because I want them out of the way of what I'm doing, don't want to discard them completely and feel if I create a new sequence for them I won't come back to them.
What I've been missing is a place where all the potential sequences, instead of being lost, could be auditioned and tested together in different combinations.
That sounds like the song window. My only concern is that it seems to use up a lot of power to have all those sequences play enabled on the fly and for now I'm on a pretty limited machine. I assume that's where V racks come in handy.
Sorry for hijacking the thread by the way!
