at the moment, the capabilities of edit groups are somewhat limited.
mass editing of fades is not one of them, i'm sorry to say.

we have discussed restricted versions of snapshots that would be more
like what i think you are thinking of. but the inter-dependence of many
aspects of a session's state that i mentioned earlier make this just as
difficult.

as a trivial case, what happens if you add a track at some point, then
reload a scene from before the track was added. what happens to the I/O
configuration of that new track? Worse: what happens if you deleted a
bus?
