Is there a yet a way to poll via OSC for a current value? My thought would be that it would be a simple as not supplying a value for the function.

If a normal command is

Code:

/play,f 1

the request/poll command is (without any value)

Code:

/play

and reaper would reply

Code:

/play,f 1

Being able to poll a track for it's name or a marker for it's name would be amazeballs.

ATM the biggest issue for me is retrieving the current track and marker counts from a project. I can set how many markers and tracks I'd like to receive information from, but no way to determine how many tracks and markers there are in a project.
Maybe if the were changes to the commands like:

Code:

DEVICE_TRACK_COUNT *

and

Code:

DEVICE_MARKER_COUNT *

Where the * means "how ever many the project has". Also, can these values be changed dynamically?
