/setlist/jumpByMeasures Not Working

Describe your issue here:

While building out my Canvas I’ve noticed a bug where /setlist/jumpByMeasures does not work. /setlist/jumpByBars works just fine but for some reason no matter what arguments I give it Measures does not function.

Please fill out these values to make it easier to troubleshoot:

  • OS and Version: 12.5.1
  • Version of AbleSet: 3.0.9
  • Version of Ableton Live: 12.2.7

Hey @JasonBentch, welcome to the forum!

Do you have a Measures Track set up in your Ableton session? /setlist/jumpByMeasures requires one to work — it’s a MIDI track named “Measures” containing one clip per measure.

If you don’t have one yet, you can use the Measure Track Generator to create the clips automatically.

Let me know if this solves the issue!

Hey Agustin,

That was absolutely it :sweat_smile:

It may be worth adding a line to the OSC Doc linking jumpByMeasures back to the Measures track feature because it describes the functionality I want but I haven’t utilized a Measures track before, so I had no idea I needed one in order to jump bars and land at the start of the bar instead of whatever random beat my playhead ended up at.

Thanks!

Hey @JasonBentch,

Glad to hear that solved it!
And Thank you for your feedback.
I’ll pass it along to get a note added to the OSC docs on that.
