[feature request] record enable flag for tracks

Description

use case: you have a machine with multiple tracks, and thus multiple patterns playing simultaneously.

it happens you want to record data (some parameter automation) to JUST ONE pattern (in th especific, I'm used to make short melodic lines, and long automation patterns, playing simultaneously on the same machine)

actually recorded data goes in ALL patterns.

that is clearly a defect, if machines are intended to playing multiple patterns simultaneously (in the above situation, as soon as I start to record, the short pattern would be quickly filled with automation data, and the slider I am automating starts moving soon, before I finish to record the *long* pattern).

what I suggest is: tracks should have a flag to "record-enable" them, that would reflect a "record-enable" button/checkbox for each track of a machine (I guess it goes in the sequencer view, where you can see the track headers)

this is what 99% of audio and midi sequencers adopt to handle recording, so I suppose is pretty intuitive.
