Interesting though Chris - especially the layout and setup. Just a question (not that I want to trun this into a routing thread) but why such random read automation selections? and what's with the strange track numbers and bus groups - I can't figure out the logic of it...
In order:
Logic turns on 'read' when you write automation. So, not random, just that those are the only tracks that are automated. Maybe I'm not understanding the question.. lemme know
I don't even look at the track numbers, I should turn them off in the view. Completely arbitrary in my mind.
Here's how my projects work w/ the busses: Each instrument type goes to it's own 'bus', or 'group' (whatever). So Percs, Loops, Basses, Leads, Arps, Pads, FX, & Kick all go their own group. (They get their own color too). Why you ask, so I can compress, filter, and automate them together if I choose (mostly for compression & filters). Also, when mixing down, you have some control over that sound type as a whole. THEN, each of those groups go to 1 of 2 'outputs' as I call them, but really they're just subgroups. One is 'no compression', and other is 'compression'. That comp output has a chain of lightly set comps that all act as a unique organism when chained together.
Why do I do all this? Because this mimics the way we used to set up our SSL boards at my old job, and it just kinda made sense to echo that.
Most peeps once sat down and shown how all this works signal flow wise, typically leave with a lightbulb over their head and start doing this themselves. I'm not saying this is THE WAY to mix, but I like it and it works for me.

no this absolutely makes sense to me and the reasons I asked was that this is how I've always seen it done (and had to do myself) in pro environments. The but that was throwing me off (hence the question) was the track numbers and the seemingly random spread of bus selection, which now makes total sense, especially as you're mixing in to a compressor (chain)
It just thought it was like seeing a professional/classic desk mix setup with a random abandon for certain aspects (which until explanation was kind of weird because you never really see both at the same time if you know what I mean - it's either personal choas or logical order) but all makes sense now.

Already had that one, a diff one maybe that I didn't take?

from left to right. For some reason the 3rd screen looks bigger. But they are all the same size. The left side is the orchestration and the right side is the piano reduction.
