ok, I've re-worked the "Build lane" action.
1) With external source files: "lanes" should now be always consistent whatever are take lengths, recording order, etc..
Crazy non-sense example mixing audio and (looped) midi takes:
=> "mess" after a recording session:
=> build lanes:
note: réaLisé sans trucage!
2) With in-project items: remains as before, best effort. That is to say: only the correct number of "lanes" is created, but the position of items within lanes is not always ensured. Though, it should be ok when re-recording or record looping over
longer takes. New actions "Move active take (and only the active take) up/down" can help about that.
3) With mix of in-project items and items with ext. source files: best effort for in-project, while other lanes are always consistent.
what we mainly do here with these take actions: build lanes, tag bad takes (that really don't need to be re-listened to) with "Clear active take(s)/item(s)". Also after MIDI edition or recording (with the well-known auto splits), we clean the arrange with "Remove empty MIDI take/item(s)" but note that "Remove empty source take/item(s)" is an 'undo' for the "build lane" action.
I hope it's clear now.. Adam, captain !?
I've also a bit renamed these actions with better wordings (well I hope..)

@lawrs: close all floating fx windows is now OK
@egoplasma: I hope it's clear for you about key shortcuts now
about the funky "add dlg": yeah, the "close fx chain action' also closes the "add fx" dlg, but "toggle show fx chain action" applies to it too ! fixed soon.
@tweed: some stuff for live perfs coming soon !
