CopySound / CopyTiming Scripting Function?

mattmcd

Is there any exposed-to-scripting function that can do, in a script-triggered way, the equivalent of what the "empty loop action" CopySound and CopyTiming does? I'm specifically looking to accomplish:

1.) Copy the timing of 1 loop to another loop in the same track
2.) Copy the sound of 1 loop to another loop in the same track
3.) Copy the timing of 1 loop to a loop in a different track

I would assume if there's some script capability like:

CopyTiming <targetTrack> <targetLoop> <sourceTrack> <sourceLoop>
CopySound <targetTrack> <targetLoop> <sourceTrack> <sourceLoop>

and for both the source track + loop could be optional (chooses whatever loop the UI is currently on)

Thanks!

That's been on the list for awhile, but unfortunately not ready yet. You should be able to do this by scripting the steps with emptyLoopAction. Switch to the target loop and Reset it, switch to the source loop and set emptyLoopAction=copyTiming, then switch back to the target loop. But it's awkward and you have to disable switchQuantize while you're doing it and put it back at the end if you want to keep it.

all good. thanks! was just curious if it was there and I was just missing it 🙂
