Ah, so "(region name)/edit/make mono regions" does not actually edit the
region.  Nor does it make it mono.  Nor does it create mono tracks.  But
it adds two mono regions to the _region_ _list_ (which is rather
inconspicuous and somewhere else on the screen, by default not at all)
from where you can then fill newly created mono tracks.  It doesn't
bother mentioning what it does in something akin to Emacs' echo area,
though: "copied mono regions to region list" would have been a great
hint.  It doesn't have some mouse-over help on "make mono regions"
either.  You arr on your own guessing what happens.

Sorry, but that's _way_ worse in discoverability than current-day
Emacs.  Certainly nothing you could _discover_ on a demo.  Either you
know or you don't.

Emacs has useful mouse-over help.  Emacs has usefully named menu
entries.  The menu entries actually use current-day GUI terminology
(rather than Emacs' own kill/yank kind of terminology).

I have a chance hunting for something while demoing.
