Hey @gracebhm,
Really clean solution, and exactly the kind of thing the +SKIP / +LOOP combo is built for. Skipped-by-default but loopable-on-demand is a great way to keep a big library set tidy.
Two things you might find useful on top of it:
-
Section Count-In (Settings → Section Count-In) does something close to your “CLICK IN” automatically: when you select a section when playback is stopped, AbleSet drops the playhead 1/2/4 bars before it, solos the click for the pre-roll, then unsolos it the moment the section starts. It’s a fixed pre-roll rather than an open-ended vamp, so your loop approach still wins when you don’t know how long you’ll be holding — but for predictable count-offs it can save you a section. You can also see this in action in the official tutorial.
-
For your Canvas/MIDI “CLICK OUT” button, you can make it light up while it’s active so you get visual feedback mid-song. Enable Dynamic on its background color and use something like:
${osc("/setlist/activeSectionName") === "CLICK OUT" ? "green-600" : "green-900"}
And thanks for circling back to post the fix!
It really helps for the next person in the community hunting for the same thing
