move cursor to nearest left edge

With the S&M Notes window already open, is there a way to have the text cursor be active to start writing text without having to click on the S&M notes window 1st. This would really useful for when adding or selecting of an empty item.

I'm not very good at posting these type of queries, I hope it makes some sense.

Please do ask away if you need clarification on anything.

Look forward to any solutions to the above.

Thanks
Gary

I think what you could try as a workaround is extend your custom action as follows:

Insert empty Item
move cursor to nearest left edge
insert marker
SWS/S&M: Open/close Notes window (item notes)
SWS/S&M: Open/close Notes window (item notes)

So when running this with the notes window already open, the first Open/close.. action closes the window, the second one opens it again and sets focus to it so you should be able to write immediately.
The notes window will flicker shortly though when doing this.

Otherwise I think it may be possible via scripting (using JS API), you may ask in the scripting forum:

Thanks very much for your suggestions. Much appreciated.

I will give it a try.

HI

It possible to have the text in S&M Notes word wrap in the window?

Regards
Gary

Right click in the Notes window > Wrap text.

Ahhhhhhh I've been right clicking the text window, and not the title bar. I had no idea.

Thanks cfillion.

Much appreciated.

Does anybody know how to fix it?


After upgrading to newest beta problem doesn't occurs so often, but it still does. Im working in game development, often with small files (<1sec) maybe that matters?
Before upgrading to beta I had like 20 simillar results for 200 files, now i get 1-3. But I still does

Select All tracks from selected track's group.lua:16: attempt to call a nil value (global 'RPR_GetSetTrackGroupMembership')

Even though the tracks are in a group, this error shows up, any advice?

[cfillion]

RPR_* is the naming of the API functions for Python scripts. In Lua GetSetTrackGroupMembership is available as reaper.GetSetTrackGroupMembership. It's a native REAPER feature though, nothing to do with SWS.

Sorry about that it was something different, thought it was a SWS script. Thanks for the answer!

Some more explanation: if a Lua script says something like "nil value", it means, that the variable used has no value in it or the function is not available.
This is usually a good hint that you mistyped a function- or variablename or simply used the wrong one(as in your case you tried to use the Python-functionname in Lua).

So as long as there's a "nil value"-error, concentrate on checking names and values of variables and functions. Works in most cases successfully.

SWS v2.12.1 beta is out now! (release notes)

[sinkmusic]

Thank you, Cfillion!

[juan_r]

Thank you indeed!

Since there is a new release in the works, I wonder: is this thread appropriate for suggestions?

I would love to be able to navigate subfolders of the groove folder in the Groove Tool: I have dozens of captured grooves. Indeed, whenever I jam with Reaper on, I capture some snippet for giving some life to future synthetic parts. This feature would help keep things organized.

There's a FR for that on the SWS issue tracker: https://github.com/reaper-oss/sws/issues/1234.

Oops! Thanks for spotting that!

Bug with "Transpose selected MIDI items down an octove".
With the new beta, only one midi is treated when I select more than one MIDI item.

I haven't tested with others actions: up an octove or semitone.

[cfillion]

Confirmed, fixing! (The issue happens in REAPER 6+.)

These actions are not working



SWS version 2.12.1.0

Win 10 latest build

[kytdkut]

Hi all!

I'm working on a script that uses NF_AnalyzeTakeLoudness_IntegratedOnly on a loop. This script will be used on projects of about 600 files (game audio localization).

Is there a way to make the popup window that appears when running this function to be displayed on the background? Currently I can't focus other windows because this popup gets thrown to the foreground and gets focused. So if I run the script I have to wait until it finishes. I have another monitor, yes, but my coworkers maybe do not!

I'm using Win 10.

Thanks in advance! Mauro

They appear to behave as expected here: the stored default grouping flags are applied to the selected tracks in both v5 and v6. The grouping windows isn't automatically refreshed to reflect the change if it's already open with the target group selected though.

Can you make a screen recording showing how to reproduce the issue?

no flags as it was before

Just out of curiosity: is there a tool to detect tempo into a selected time?

[vanhaze]

In Reaper Action List, you have this native Action:
"Create measure from time selection (new time signature)..."

When you fire this Action, you fill in the time signature and the number of bars within the time selection.

Then Reaper creates a resulting Tempo Marker at the start of time selection.

Great, thank you!

Graag gedaan BartR !

Those SWS action apply the saved flags (saved using the corresponding button in REAPER's grouping window) to the given group number on selected tracks. They don't change which group is shown in the grouping window.

[Loulou92]

Hello

Is there a limited number of Cycle action before they stop being registered ? I'm in a situation where I don't find all the cycle action in the action list, but the actions are in the cycle action editor, and they have no errors.

S&M Cycleaction.ini indicates I have 632 cycle actions. That's a lot.

[Loulou92]

I notice that I can't "run" these actions from the Cycle action editor, the "run" right click function is greyed out ... So there is a celling right ?

Edit : I use the 2.12.1.0 version

(SOLVED)

It's clear now, thanks for help!

SWS/BR: Play from mouse cursor position and solo active item's track for the duration (perform until shortcut released)
This function is very easy to use. The only drawback is that only monorail data can be heard. In many cases, multi track audition is required. Can you add an action to listen to the track of the selected item.

[dangguidan]

SWS / BR: enable "ignore project tempo" for selected MIDI items preserving time position of MIDI events (use tempo at item's start)
This command will cause the CC shape to be lost. Please fix this problem.

You should report these issues on GitHub of SWS.

[Soundgraf]

Pleeaaasseeee !!! Add some sort of "ok" checkbox to the Markerlist.
It would be very helpful to add this to the manager for easier live playback.

Not sure if this was previously reported but the action "SWS/S&M: Remove all envelopes for selected tracks" isn't removing all envelopes the first time. Sometimes I have to run this action multiple times to get them all.

To reproduce:

1. Load a plugin on an empty track
2. Enter Touch automation mode
3. Move a bunch of parameters thus creating a bunch of automation envelopes
4. Run action SWS/S&M: Remove all envelopes for selected tracks (I have this bound to Alt+Delete)

Result: maybe 3 envelopes get deleted the first time. But there will be some leftover.

Expected Result: all envelopes are deleted the first time.

5. Run the action again

Result: more envelopes get deleted

6. Run the action again (n times)

Eventually, all envelopes are removed.

Works fine here. :-/

I was using the May build. I just updated to the beta build, and on my first few tests, it's working as expected now. Thanks for checking!

[nofish]

^^ Yes, it's fixed in the current beta.

v2.12.1 pre-release build
Restore the behavior of "Remove all envelopes for selected tracks" (regression from v2.12.0

Hey everybody !

A question about the SWS Console :
Would a loop done via a SWS Console instruction be faster than a regular sequence of duplicated action, launched by a custom/cycle action ?

I'm trying to optimize some cycle actions that are a bit slow to process and so any milliseconds gained would be a little victory. I could replace all series of similar actions by loops, if it's of any interest in term of efficiency.

Any input appreciated !!

[mschnell]

It's always a critical decision if it makes sense to have a (most of the time unproductive ) polling loop run faster.
There is only a single "GUI-Thread" in an application. Same is used in Reaper for everything, that does not take place within a track. Of course a single such thread only uses a single CPU.

That is why any polling loop eats valuable resources and making it faster on one hand improves the responsiveness of same, but might degrade the responsiveness of the total system.

In fact I don't know but doubt that the SWS console uses another thread but the standard GUI thread.

I don't know it it's possible to do an event driven approach fro hat you have in mind. This would be a lot better than doing a polling loop.
