Metronome in Midi piano roll toolbar

[Desty Nova]

Hi everyone,

Is it possible to add the Metronome icon in the Midi piano roll toolbar? Can't find it.
I would like to enable/disable the metronome when I am in the Midi editor window (whitout using shortcut).

Thanks for the help

I thought I might have find out in the Customize menus/toolbars by making a copy/paste of the "Enable metronome" action from the Main toolbar to the MIDI piano roll toolbar but the new icon in the toolbar doesn't trigger the metronome...

Any help??

Can't be done because the MIDI Editor has it's own separate section of actions and toggle metronome is not one of them. But the next best is to make it a keyboard shortcut and add that same shortcut to the ME action "pass through key to main window." Then you can still toggle your metronome when the ME is fullscreen.

Hi fox,

I've created a shortcut for the metronome, how can I add the same shortcut to the ME editor "pass through key to main window."?

Thanks for your help

Elloallo- without hastle- just use smart id markers-works fine.
Make markers in timeline >edit marker> ! 40364 (this works ok) include the "!" to smarten things up a little
No worriez->thank myself normally< as a lot forget that.

Let's say, as simple example, you assigned the Shortcut 'm' to the metronome Action. In this case add the same Shortcut 'm' to "pass through key to main window", as well.

As a side note: you can add and pass through as many Shortcuts as you like.

No problem, open the Actions list and use the top right dropdown to select MIDI Editor and search for "pass." Select it and assign your shortcut.

Got it!
Found out about "pass through key to main window.

Thank you all of us for your help!

Couldn't you make a lua script to toggle metronome?, I think all you'd need is this one line,.

reaper.Main_OnCommand(40364,0)

I added a button to midi toolbar and set it to that script. Only problem is the button doesn't update (highlight) to tell you if its enabled or not.

Edit

Go to piano roll window
customize toolbar
Add
load script
select/close
set icon
save

Amazing!!! Thank you!
I would like to know more about how to use scripts in Reaper.

With those tricks we could also may be change the tempo value just by clicking and draging up & down on the tempo section in the transport bar ?

Yisss- there is also a problem with using that toggle action as a midi note shortcut/assign ..not working >(is why id marker was suggested.)
There's a whole heap of actions that just do not work currently 5.4... sigh

That's also possible with a few additions to the script.

reaper.Main_OnCommand(40364, 0) -- Toggle metronome

toggleState = reaper.GetToggleCommandState(40364)

is_new,name,sec,cmd,rel,res,val = reaper.get_action_context()
reaper.SetToggleCommandState(sec, cmd, toggleState)

Great!
I've learn a bit of Python but don't know nothing about scripts in Repaer.

Thanks for the script!

EDIT:
So for what I understand, because of the script used there is no need now to add the metronome shortcut to the "pass through key to main window" right?

You're welcome.

Right.
