Macro variable $_DataPlugs is not documented.
This is not so bad Smiley since I'd strongly suggest to rename it to $_Data_Plugins .
Also, why not add $_Track_Plugins as well?

Patch attached.

Okay, I've just applied the fixes. However, I think I'll stick with $_DataPlugins (no hyphen) since the '_' normally applies to track names. $_Track_plugins have been there all along, but only as a track name function ... since it's a track thing, should we just leave it as that? Seems to be a rabbit hole if we permit $_Bass_Plugins and $_TrackPlugins to refer to the same thing? Or are you suggesting something else?Huh

So, we should end up with:

   $_Plugins -- for all simple plugs
   $_DataPlugins -- for the data plugs
   $_TrackName_Plugins -- for the track stuff

Make sense?

It just feels a bit contrived having to select an arbitrary (but existing!) track name just to list the track plugins...

So, alternatively:

   $_Plugins -- for all simple plugs
   $_DataPlugins -- for the data plugs
   $_TrackPlugins -- for the track plugs
   $_TrackName_Plugins -- legacy, same as $_TrackPlugins

and then silently remove $_TrackName_Plugins from the docs Smiley.

Committed.

I have $_Plugins, $_TrackPlugins, $_DataPlugins and $_Trackname_Plugins. The last is mainly for use in a begin/end block where one might have some kind of a call ... no idea how that would work Smiley But, it's all in the doc, so what can go wrong.
