if you have a mute at .146 and another at .147, changing the first one to .147 will write over the second one. might be a good way to erase
a bunch of mutes though, scroll the time field while on one mute event. the only muting that can be done in step mode is when you call up a pattern and change it's original mute settings and press enter to input the step, it will begin that way in the song.

i think what is happening in real time mode is when i press four mutes simultaneously for example, it gets recorded into the event list as four mutes(/or unmutes) from the same track. more testing to do
