# Mute playback of the ry channel of ty on the sphere
#
sph = pm.polySphere()
pm.setKeyframe( '%s.translate' % sph[0] )
# Result: 3 #
pm.mute( '%s.translateY' % sph[0] )
# Result: [nt.Mute(u'mute_pSphere1_translateY')] #
# Query whether ty is muted
pm.mute('%s.translateY' % sph[0], q=True )
# Result: True #
# Disable muting on any muted attributes on the sphere
#
pm.mute( sph[0], disable=True )
