Fully automated WaveRider (Quiet Art) workflow (for mono tracks)

This script is a little specific to me personally but I figure if others use WaveRider to write volume automation (then convert it to clip gain like I do) then this script will make your life much easier, and can of course be tailored to your go-to workflow. With the push of one button, this script takes care of all the pre and post steps needed too. There a few a few caveats however: I had to build two different scripts, one for 1 track only, and another for 2 or more. Both are below. Full disclosure, I can't code from scratch, so, many thanks to the forum and others for posting and sharing their scripts online, which allowed me to design this WaveRider workflow. Some brief caveats:

For the multiple track version:

1. Groups must be Active. De-select Volume from (group) Globals.
2. Place Cursor at start of audio, and select the tracks you want Waverider'd.
3. Leave at least 1 sec free space before the start of the clips (so there's room to nudge back 500ms - cause of Averaging mode)
4. The one part I couldn't automate: there'll be 5sec pause before playback commences so you can Choose each Track # within each Waverider plugin instance.

For the single track version, steps 2 and 3 above apply.

What this script does:
0. Create a Temp Group (multiple track version only)

1. Close all floating windows
2. Disable Post Roll
3. Sets Automation mode on Selected Tracks to Latch
4. Toggles from Waveform view to Volume view
5. Removes any inserts (on selected tracks) from Slot 1
6. Adds Waverider (on selected tracks) to Slot 1
7. Scrolls the first selected fader "into view," so it'll be the first fader in the virtual fader bank
8. Highlights from the cursor til the end, then extends that area by a little on both sides
9. Waits for 5secs, then plays
10. Waits for playback to stop
11. Waits 5sec because sometimes Waverider buffers a little at the end of a long session
12. Closes all Insert Plugin Windows
13. Sets Nudge Value to 500ms
14. Highlights all the volume automation (on selected tracks)
15. Nudges it back 500ms (due to WaveRider Averaging mode latency)
16. Coalesce Volume Automation to Clip Gain
17. Deletes volume automation
18. Toggles back to Waveform view
19. Toggles back to Automation Mode: Read (on selected tracks)
20. Enables Post-Roll
21. Removes WaveRider from Insert Slot 1 (on selected tracks)
22. Adds Rx Mouth De-click to Insert Slot 1 (on selected tracks)
23. Deletes Temp Group (multiple track version only)
24. Closes all Insert Plugin Windows
