With many many songs in the set, I have a mix of lyrics solutions (no one standard right now)…some songs have “vocal” lyrics, and some have “sheet” lyrics.
So instead of having to toggle/choose “vocal” vs. “sheet” song by song, it would be helpful to have something like “priority”.
For instance, in addition to the way it is now (forces the user to choose), maybe 2 more options could be available:
(1) " ! sheet" – which could mean, show the sheet if there is one, but if no sheet is found, but rather there is “vocal” content, then steam/show the “vocal” content.
(2) " ! vocal" – the opposite of (1)
Well, maybe this is an oddball idea. (Never hurts to ask)
Isn’t that already possible with OSC?
I appreciate the reply. Good question. And yet, I am just a mere mortal, trying to corral technical stuff (ie, I left programming decades ago, but ok w/ MIDI and BOME Midi translator)…trying to more and more emphasize a focus on being a musician. And yet, I am open to an example. If someone shares an example, and it seems like low-hanging fruit, I may jump in. (thanks)
Hi Agustinvolpe,
I have looked thru the available OSC commands, and maybe I am missing something, but I don’t see an OSC solution that could flip the Ableset “Sheet” / “Lyric” flag. Nor do I see an OSC solution to determine if a Clip (for Ableset lyrics) or a Sheet (“image” file) exists.
If at all possible, is there any additional OSC info you could provide to help me further pursue your idea that OSC can solve this Feature Request.
all the best

You could go into AbleSet ‘s MIDI mappings and map 2 switches on a MIDI controller in this fashion:
/devices/showPage 'YourDevice' lyrics/vocal
This would show the vocal lyric track on your device.
/devices/showPage 'YourDevice' lyrics/sheet
This would show the sheet lyric track.
Maybe this is not what you’re looking for but it’s a pretty easy -and handy- way to toggle different views on the webUI.
At least that’s how I do it.
Furthermore, you could automate outbound OSC (on an OSC track from Live to AbleSet), to show your vocal o sheet tracks on a per song basis.
