AbleSet 3.1.0-beta.6

Cues

  • Added a setting to disable counting in looped sections (“Loop, 2, 3, 4!”)
    • This is also available via a new attribute (:loop/:l or :noloop/:nl)
  • Added a filter to not count in loops that are shorter than twice the length of the count-in
  • Added a new :halfspeed or :hs attribute that stretches the count-in to twice the length
  • Improved the way attributes are parsed, so the order of attributes doesn’t matter anymore
    • For example, both [c:2:hs:nl] and [c:nl:2:hs] are now valid
  • Fixed an audible delay on count-ins if the previous section is only as long as the count-in

OSC

  • Fixed AbletonOSC device parameters not being parsed properly

Adding this here as it introduced the cues feature. Already love it! Do you think you could consider adding an option for inverting the counting? I.e., instead of “Chorus, 2, 3, 4”, do “Chorus, 3, 2, 1”?

The reason I am asking is similar to the idea described here. I have to deal with quite a few sections that are extended by a few beats. So it might be 8 bars of 4 beats, but the last extended to 6. With the traditional counting, that’s not obvious, as you might expect a new 1 to follow the 4 when there’s a 5 and 6 left. With inverted counting, you know exactly where you’re heading.

Oh, and it would be nice to get the “SONG END“ marker announced with a counter, too. I currently work around this with a 1-bar “end” section, but it would be cool if I didn’t have to do that.
