Start rec, wait until end of empty item, stop rec [DALTONS]

[TonE]

Title says, required action:
Start recording at start of current empty item, if action ID is in item notes, wait until end of empty item, stop recording. This would allow creating a concept like Alk2, when used together with HeDa Regions&Markers from Items.lua . Or does this exist already?

The trick here is using empty items together with actions, action on at start of item, and action off at end of item, similarly as note on and note off.

PHP Code:

|<---------- item ----------->|
|start rec            stop rec| 


Coolness of this method is, you can copy, thus arrange such items.

It basically exists. You can have recording stop automatically at cursor, measure or time selection. You could just make a custom action to move the cursor to end of item and use an auto stop action.



Also note there is an item recording mode to isolate recording to selected items if you right click the record button.

Could you describe step by step how with one of those methods an Alk2 workflow could be deśigned? I guess both would not work, because it has to work in real-time, so just by playing through the arrange it should work, as possible with action markers. So far the only way I see is using action markers or indirectly converting item notes to action markers. But those will start at item start, but the record ending at item end is not build in yet, or there is no fitting action available yet.

The idea is then something like:

PHP Code:

|<rec start ------ rec stop>|
                                    |<rec start ---- rec stop>| 
                                                              |<rec start ----- rec stop>|
