Hey all! take a look at the video below. I updated to the newest version of Ableset. I’m adjusting space between songs in our set right now and have come across bug where if I move the locator to cut down on a bar on lead in time ableset will glitch the end of that song leading into the one I adjusted the locator on for some reason.

It essentially jumps back to the beginning of the song that I just finished and then 2 seconds later finally jumps to the net song I just adjusted the locator on. Am I doing something wrong?

Let me know if theres any other context I can provide. Here’s what I’ve done so far:

Collect all and save - closed ableton and ableset and re-opened

Tried renaming the locator to STOP … when I did this it jumped right to the next song, but changing back to “SONGEND” reintroduces the previous bug.

Hey @mattjvisuals,

Thanks for the detailed write-up and the video!

In your video, your set the locator is named SONGEND, but AbleSet expects it written as SONG END — with a space, all caps. That’s the exact name AbleSet looks for to mark the end of a song and jump to the next one.
Could you try renaming those to SONG END and let me know if that solves the issue?

You can also see this in action in the official tutorial.

If that doesn’t fix it, could you please create a Log Package?
You can create a log package by opening AbleSet’s icon tray, clicking the gear icon, and then selecting “Create Log Package”.
Please make sure to include your project files as well (just the .als files, no audio needed).
To send the files, you can upload them to AbleSet’s support inbox.

I’m looking forward to your reply!

yes! Thanks for the reply. I’ll try this today and get back to you. Sent some logs over to support@ that may not be necessary now if I can reproduce the issue with SONG[space]END I’ll send another log package!

Hey! Just coming back to close the loop, it was the SPACE that solved this :melting_face: … “SONG END” instead of “SONGEND” … thanks for the help!
