CANVAS: Current Measure Not Working

Support
1

Ableset 3.0.0 Beta 8

I have added the element [Current Measure], but it just stays at 0.0 when the song is playing. I don’t see any options or required OSC values.
Has this element been tested as working?
Am I missing something?
Shouldn’t it be aligned to the right side since the beat count would rarely exceed 4 or at least a single digit?

Side note - also not able to get it to take up the whole screen 1920 x 1080 (15.6" HMDI Display/Monitor) I ended up modifying the JSON and got it pretty close…

Hey @Maverick, the Current Measure element requires you to use a Measure Track which contains one MIDI clip per measure.

If you have the Max for Live device installed and would like to see the measure that Ableton uses, you can use a label with this template:

${osc("/global/humanPosition", 0) ?? "?"}.${osc("/global/humanPosition", 1) ?? "?"}

Does this work for you?

Regarding the screen size, what values did you need to use to get the canvas to fit your 1080p screen?

I’m looking forward to your reply! :slight_smile:

Hey Leo!

Measure track makes sense. I should have though of that. Just didn’t know if you were getting it directly from the Ableton Transport control via OSC or something. I’ll give that a try and thanks for that!

Regarding Max For Live – I don’t have it. So far, haven’t needed it for anything.

Here’s the screen size I did for my canvas. Works great!
“width”: 1920,
“height”: 1080,

I have another post on custom css that I still haven’t figured out. Just trying to bold and adjust size on the setlist.

.setlist {
font-weight: bold;
font-size: 5em;
}

I used a validator on the CSS for syntax errors, and it passes, but still not seeing any change in either the Ableset built-in window or the browser (Chrome).

My license is for Ableset 2.7.5, but I’m using 3.0.0 Beta 8 to work with the canvas and planning on upgrading when the release comes out.

Hey @Maverick, I’m glad you found a solution to make the canvas big enough for your TV screen. Instead of editing the JSON file, you can also use the “1080p TV” preset in the size selector of the canvas settings menu.
