I’d like to get some input on the naming of the new settings here. I’ve renamed the AbleNet settings section to “Redundancy & AbleNet” as some of the features also work without AbleNet.

If you’d like the browser to automatically switch over to the backup computer when the selected input changes on your audio interface, you’d enable the setting “Follow Current Audio Interface Scene”, but I feel like the name of this setting is a bit convoluted and could be simpler.

To map which computer is connected to which port on your audio interface, you’d set the “Connected Scene” to either “Scene A” or “Scene B”, or to “None” if the computer isn’t connected to any of the two ports:

The +FOLLOWSCENE track flag could also be named +FOLLOWACTIVESCENE but that was a bit too long for my taste. What would you name it?

Do you think these names make sense in general or should I rename them to something different?

I’m looking forward to your feedback!

You could also tag it +FSCENE or +FLSCENE if you’d like a shorter version! Though I’m not sure how much of a difference it would make, since the main goal is to have AbleSet displayed without needing to work directly in Ableton.
