Skip (Button) to next song in Canvas

Support

Is there a ‘SKIP’ button available for Canvas, so you can skip the next song without having to switch to the playlist?

I tried the ‘GO’ button, but it seems to function the same as PLAY, rather than skipping to the NEXT song.

I’m guessing they would look like ‘fast forward’ and ‘rewind’ to jump to the previous or next song?

Hi @Maverick!

You can actually skip the next song directly from your Canvas without switching back to the Setlist View by assigning this OSC command to a button:

/setlist/jumpBySongs [steps]

In your case, it would look like this:

/setlist/jumpBySongs 1

This command tells AbleSet to jump ahead by the given number of songs — so sending “1” will skip to the next one.

Sometimes when I stop in the middle of the song and want to start over (rehearsal), the GO button only toggles PLAY/PAUSE. What would be the command to PLAY from the BEGINNING of the current song?

My current setup is:

  1. GO = /setlist/jumpBySongs 0 (LABEL=RESTART) This is the one in question)

  2. Play/Stop

  3. GO /setlist/jumpBySongs 1 (LABEL = SKIP)

Nevermind. I think the issue was that my PLAY/STOP button was actually PLAY/PAUSE, so I deleted and replaced it. Now it seems to be behaving as intended, so I suppose I can drop the ‘reset’ go button.
