MDPE.16:4.6 - A tool’s own retention Method can be sufficient

Ableton Live comping can retain takes, audition them, copy selected regions to a main lane, and preserve source highlights. Use that direct production Method when take identity, readable project files, compatible software, rights, and a successful reopen-and-audition check fully answer the current result.

Use MDPE.16 only when a wider Music development question still needs branches with different performers, arrangements, venues, styles, capabilities, or later uses. Do not duplicate every tool lane in another maintenance file.
