Here's an AppleScript to Show/hide automation lanes for the currently selected track.


Code:
if ptIsRunning() then
    tell application "System Events"
        tell process "Pro Tools"
            set frontmost to true
            tell (1st window whose title contains "Edit: ")
                try
                    set selectedTrack to title of button of UI element 2 of (1st row of table "Track List" whose selected is true)
                    set targetTrack to text of selectedTrack as string
                    set AppleScript's text item delimiters to "Selected. "
                    set fullTrackName to every text item of targetTrack
                    set AppleScript's text item delimiters to ""
                    set targetTrack to fullTrackName as string
                    
                on error e number n
                    if the n is -1719 then
                        tell application "Pro Tools" to display alert "No track was selected." message " " buttons {"Cancel"} default button 1
                        return
                    else
                        tell application "Pro Tools" to display alert "An Error Occurred" message e & " (" & n & ")" buttons {"Cancel"} default button 1
                    end if
                end try
                click UI element "Show/hide automation lanes" of group targetTrack
            end tell
        end tell
    end tell
end if

on ptIsRunning()
    return application "Pro Tools" is running
end ptIsRunning

You are welcome but no, I am no genius by far. But you may consider to watch the Tips & Tricks section more closely or consider to pay for your custom wishes. Not everything in life is for free. Just a hint.
