Hi @leolabs
Thanks for the continued work on AbleSet.
In this beta you say you have added the ability to import a BandHelper setlist (RTF). As far as I can tell, the only way to export a setlist in BandHelper is by using the ‘Copy to Clipboard’ button.
But to import into Ableset it is looking for a file, not using the clipboard.
Can you tell me how this works pls as it will be very helpful for me.
Thanks
Mark

@GuitarMark I don’t use Bandhelper myself, but maybe @Michael_Sommerer can help you. He requested the feature :blush:

Hi @leolabs
I guess my question for you was more about how to import the set list into AbleSet.
BandHelper exports a set list as RTF but only via the clipboard (as far as I can tell). But AbleSet will only import a set list as a file.
Is there some way to have a ‘import set list from clipboard’ option?
Cheers
Mark
PS I will also email Bnadhelper support and ask if the can export to a file as well as clipboy :slight_smile:

Hello Mark,
paste the copied Setlist into the TextEdit, save and Import.

If Bandhelper support could add this feature it would be great.

Leo has done in Ableset a perfect solution to integrate Bandhelper so far. Thank you @leolabs

Hey Leo,

Just curious. Is there a way/the potential to add a button in canvas that will jump to a different cavas layout? Creating pretty much a canvas page system.

I did that but with midi

Yeah, I was trying to figure this out.

You can use the /devices/showPage OSC command in a button.
You can do something like this…

/devices/showPage all canvas/page-1-main-control

So this will technically show this canvas page on all devices connected because I used “all” there, but you can specify which devices connected to Ableset follow this command by using their IP’s I think.
Just gotta copy paste the last part of the URL into the end of the command to tell it which page to switch to.

Hope that’s helpful :smiley:

Hi Leo, could you give me a short description of how to import the rtf File into AbleSet?

If I use the importSetlist function the rtf file is not selectable.

10

Oh, you’re right! That’s a bug, I’ll fix it in the next beta.

In the meantime, you can import Bandhelper setlists by dragging the RTF files into AbleSet’s setlist editor :slight_smile:

11

This is something I’m still working on, but you’ll be able to configure buttons to act as links in the future, so you can link to different canvas pages, other pages within AbleSet, and even external pages if you like :slight_smile:

Does “re-enable automation” re-enable all automation for ableton? As in, it selects that button in ableton or does it re-enable automation only for the tracks mentioned?

Re-enable automation is about the only funtion I still use the IAC driver for, so this would be a nice thing for me!

The Re-Enable Automation button in AbleSet triggers the Re-Enable Automation button in Live, which re-enables all disabled automation in your project :slight_smile:

EDIT: Nvm, [nosongtranspose] works in this version. [nsp] does not tho. Not that it matters all that much for my usage.

Am I doing something wrong? Tried with different versions of the beta, and [nsp] or [nosongtranspose] only adds that to the name of the lyrics track in Ableset. It always transposes no matter what I do. Looking for a good way to separate the bass players sheets from guitarists seeing as guitarists use capo.

Hey Leo! Just tried out the beta and noticed that locators with a * aren’t being properly ignored in my session.

16

Hey @Andreas_Lillevold, welcome to the forum!

That was a typo in the changelog, the attribute should be called [nst] instead of [nsp]. I’ve fixed it in the changelog as well and will make sure it’s correct when adding it to the documentation :slight_smile:

Hey @jared, thank you for reporting this! I’ve just managed to reproduce this issue on my end and will push a fix with the next beta version soon :slight_smile:
