MIDI Editor - Set Active Take (Lua) - Help !

[RobU]

Hi,

I am trying to change the active take in the midi editor, in Lua, but without success.

The code goes something like:

reaper.SetActiveTake(take1)
.. do stuff
reaper.SetActiveTake(take2)
.. do other stuff

However, SetActiveTake does not update the midi editor, and attempting to 'do stuff' only works on the last take that was clicked with the mouse in the arrange view.

I can update the arrange view, but this doesn't do anything in the midi editor.

Can anyone offer some advice?

Cheers

Afaik SetActiveTake() only applies in arrange view (i.e. doesn't set active take in MIDI editor, as you say), there was recently a thread about this:

Thanks for the pointer to the other thread. I'll try Tack's workaround.
