highlight VISIBLE track relative to session box

I searched and searched this forum and never found a clear answer to my problem.

How can I make a mapping that highlights VISIBLE track 5 in a 8 track session box?

***example 1 ‘MUTE’ mapping: in the ‘track selection’ menu I can use these settings:
-track type: track (no option for VISIBLE track here so it will sometimes mute tracks INSIDE a group which is NOT what i want)
-track number: 5
-relative to session box position: yes
=> This is getting close because I can perform an action on a specific track in the session box, BUT it also counts the tracks that are inside a group which I don’t want

***example 2 ‘HIGHLIGHT NAVIGATION’ mapping: in the ‘navigation setting’ menu can use these settings:
-navigation type: select track or scene number
-select track or scene: tracks (no option for VISIBLE tracks so it will sometimes select tracks INSIDE a group which is NOT what i want)
-select track number: 5 (there’s the option ‘use modifier’, more on that below)
There is NO option to select ‘relative to session box position’
=> This is not doing what I want because there is no option to highlight a specific track inside the session box. I know I can use modifiers to select specific tracks but there are only 20 modifiers. For another project I want to select any of 64 VISIBLE tracks with my 64 pads on the Launchpad Mini MK3. So every pad on the Launchpad is connected to specific track selection: pad 1 selects visible track 1, pad 2 visible track 2 and so on. I tried posting here before but never found a clear answer with an example script. Is this impossible to do with Remotify? It seems like a basic function because almost every cheap midi controller with a script has the option to move the session box around and the select a specific track inside the session box with a button press while ignoring the tracks that are inside groups.

Really hoping to find an answer to this problem soon!
Thanks,
Jan

Fluxiia thanks SO much for sharing! it works

Now for my experiment it still needs some work:
I want to select any of 64 VISIBLE tracks with my 64 pads on the Launchpad Mini MK3 (without using hard midi mapping) . So every pad on the Launchpad is connected to specific track selection: pad 1 selects visible track 1, pad 2 visible track 2 and so on.
Now with your script setup i can:
-make a 8 track session box
-make 8 session navigation mappings that set the session box to track 1, 9, 17, 25, 33, 41, 49, 57 and map those to button 1-8
-set the visible tracks highlight inside the session box to 8 modifiers and map them to button 9-16

=> now to select track 19 i have to do 2 button presses
-press button 3 (session box moves to track 17)
-press button 11 (highlights track 3 inside session box)

How can I do it with only 1 button press?
I was thinking to try a 64 track session box (so I don’t have to move the session box).
Then I’ll need more than 20 modifiers to select each of the 64 tracks?
Or can I work with an offset somehow? So I maybe could use 8 modifiers for tracks 1 (m1), 9 (m2), 17 (m3), 25 (m4), 33 (m5), 41 (m6), 49 (m7), 57 (m8) and then use some kind of code like ‘select track m2 +1’ to highlight track 10? Sorry if this seems stupid, but nothing wrong to try right?
Anyway, thanks again for your help, really appreciate it!
