Do you want to create a specific list by track number or what in the script ? Give some examples please.

Thanks for responding.
Ok, as an example: my mixes always goes through four master-buses (lead, music, bass, drums/fx) and then out through a stereo master output. And my Reaper only renders the tracks that are selected at rendering time. This would give me for example the below output options:
1. Render all four master buses as separate tracks, and nothing else
2. Render master output as separate track, and nothing else
3. Render all four master buses and master output, as separate tracks (5 in total), and nothing else
Each of these three options is available to me by simply selecting the tracks I wish to include in the render; either all four master buses, or only the master output, or the master output plua the four master-buses.
This is easy, just three buttons, where the action of each button is "Select tracks number x, x, x, x, x" etc and then Render. (master buses are always on the same track numbers for me, regardless of project).
On top of this, I need the option to include elements (or remove too). To include click into the render for example.
I don't use Reaper's built-in click, but instead I got my reasons for using a custom click on an audio track configuration at the bottom of the project, track # 165.
So including the click into the master output render, is just a matter of select BOTH the master output the click audiotrack.
That would take two buttons: master output, and master output with click.
But then add this scenario to all master buses too, and you'll need 10 buttons: each bus with or without click, plus all buses with- or without click. Now we got 12 buttons just for all this.
If we add more output options than just master output and master buses, and we also offer more addon options - such as count-in click, vocal lead-in tone, remove lead-track, and more - the amount of buttons keep multiplying until we'd get 100 buttons rather quickly.
Instead of that scenario, I thought to separate the two selection methods. That way, I could have "Select all four master buses" than then a separate button that says "add click" (or any other addon option).
But for this to work, I'd need actions to first make a selection of multiple tracks, and then add a new track to that selection without removing the initial selection. And similarly remove tracks from the initial selection without disrupting the initial selection.
I hope this makes sense.
Or .. are you perhaps asking for how my local setup looks? like which exact track numbers or names, and configurations of those I will want to include in certain selection configurations?
