New transport actions needed
There are many action for moving the play cursor, but they don't work while playing

I think there should be more actions in the transport category that seek and change the play position, also while playing.
Currently there are similar actions, but they only move the cursor and do not seek and update the playback position.

Here are the suggested new actions:

- Go to start of loop
- Go to end of loop
- Go to start of time selection
- Go to end of time selection
- Go to next marker
- Go to previous marker
- Go to start of next beat
- Go to start of current/previous beat
- Go to start of next measure
- Go to start of current/previous measure

If there is already some way to achieve this with current actions, please elaborate and then disregard this FR :)

Thanks,
Mario

I don't know what happened to the answers of this (I received notifications including the message texts, but now they've vanished).

I cannot find these commands in REAPER native nor in the SWS and Xenakios extensions... There are some "move cursor" actions, but they don't seek while playing.

Hello mabian, here you have macros for each action you asked for:

mabian Transport Macros

You don't need extensions for these macros... native only actions used.

NOTE: let me know if they are working as expected, please.

Wow, thanks a lot, indeed most actions do what I requested, I didn't know "View: Go to play position" worked also when playing.

But... question: why to move to next/prev measure/beat a transport stop/start is needed? I would have expected

View:go to play position
Move cursor "where needed"
View: go to play position

could work, but indeed it doesn't :O

Thanks,
Mario

It looks like those actions for beats and measures don't change play cursor location so I needed a way to workaround it.

So we could say this can be done, right? Something like "Implemented" :D

I'd say 80%: the action for measures and beat always start play; in my original FR they should change the edit position and the play position, and if the transport is not playing they shouldn't start play.

Anyway, most of what needed is, indeed, implemented :)

Thx,
Mario

I raised a bug report, because the "move to" actions should all behave the same IMHO.

Thanks again for helping with this,
Mario

I removed the posts about macros/extensions, keep that stuff in the proper forum areas.
