By the way, if you were a beta tester of AbleSet 3.1 and your license didn’t cover the update, I’ve just extended your license so you can update for free. Thank you for your support!

Hi Leo,

I noticed a possible bug in this version.

When a song is currently playing and I select another song in the setlist, the queued song no longer flashes/highlights like it did in previous versions.
The setlist still shows the “Instant Jump to Queued” option, so it seems like the song is queued correctly, but there’s no visual flashing indication for the selected/queued jump song anymore.
I also noticed that this only seems to happen when there is a Count-In section with +SKIP at the beginning of the Section Track.
Could you please check if this is expected behavior or a bug?

Thanks!

Wow - what a blessing you and your team are for the whole world. Thank you so much - you make our lives SO MUCH EASIER!:clap:t4:

I was wondering about the new Custom Cues feature:

For us that are playing in Worship settings and use additional cues such as (image attached below) Dynamic Cues - will AbleSet attach them automatically some way? The challenge with that is that we need o create new markers that will be detected as a new section of the song - and the additional dynamic curd is a part of the sections. Maybe the easiest workaround is to create an own clip for for the dynamic cues?
