Hide All Empty Clips in the Sequencer

Description:
Add an option to hide all empty clips in the sequencer timeline for improved clarity and focus during editing and playback.
Problem:
Empty clips can clutter the sequencer view, especially in complex projects with many tracks and layers. This makes it harder to focus on the actual musical content and affects workflow speed and overview.
Proposed Solution:
– Add a toggle option (global or per-page) to hide all clips in the sequencer that currently contain no recorded material
– Can be implemented as a visual filter (non-destructive) that does not delete clips
– Could also include an "auto-hide when empty" mode
– Optional keyboard shortcut or widget action to toggle visibility on/off
– Ideally works dynamically: hidden when empty, shown when recording starts
Benefits:
– Cleaner and more focused sequencer view
– Faster navigation and editing in dense projects
– Useful for live performance setups with many unused placeholders
– Reduces visual distractions and improves UX
