In Setlist View (and optionally Performance view), there is a “right arrow” next to every song.
Hitting the arrow EXPANDS the view and displays all the SECTIONS of that song (indented under the Song).
On-stage I use a midi pedal to hands-free scroll next/prev songs. But often I want to get a glimpse of the Sections of that song before I start, and don’t want to reach over and finger-tap the Setlist “right arrow”. Could there be (is there?) an OSC command that would EXPAND (and collapse) the highlighted song to show its Sections (regardless of whether the song is currently paused, or already playing)?
My preferred solution would be an OSC command to map to a button. Maybe something like \setlist\toggleSectionView
But additionally, I wonder if the OSC \setlist\GO (which is a terrific one-button multi-purpose) command could be expanded. Right now, among other things, this command does:
When stopped at the end of a song, jumps to the next song
When stopped at the beginning of a song, starts playback
Perhaps an optional attribute (like \setlist\GO EXPAND) would expand to show sections immediately when it “jumps to the next song”. What I like about this, is if I don’t want to play the NEXT song, instead of hitting the \setlist\GO OSC command button, I instead hit Next/Prev songs, and make my next song choice, and the Setlist screen stays clean and just lists possible other songs (without the Sections detail / clutter)
One more alternative (yet I don’t think the below solution is preferred)
In Settings, at the top, in “Default View", in addition to “Setlist” and “Performance” choices, 2 more Default could be added, “Setlist Section Auto Expand View”, and “Performance Section Auto Expand View”. So as the user scrolls using the AS next / prev song command, the Sections would also expand as the next song is highlighted, and then collapsed when that song is no longer highlighted. But, my guess is that this would be too much “visual noise” while scrolling up and down, so it seems an OSC command would be preferred.
