Custom ME timelines button

[Desty Nova]

Hey guys,

I have 0 script skills so I'd like to ask anybody's help.

I would like to make a toggle button in the ME that would allows to link the timelines, so to switch from "Project synced" to "Project beats" to be able with a simple button to choose whenever you want to follow the Arranger view in the ME or not. A bit like a la Cubase (in fact I don't know if it's specific to Cubase or if every DAWs have this function). Does it sounds like you would like this too?

Thanks for any help

Check this Action:
Timebase: Toggle sync to arrange view

It switches from Timebase: Time (project) to Timebase: Sync to arrange view

Is that what you want? If not, I think you can use Cycle Action editor. No scripting needed.

Thanks Sergei! That's great!
But is it possible to turn back to Beat (project) instead of Time when not in Project synced, with the toggle button??

Create this cycle action and enable the toggle on the left side!

Thanks for the help stevie but I am affraid that this is not working the way I want to use it but please correct me if I am wrong, Cycle actions is tottaly new to me.

So I'd like to make a toggle button in the Midi Editor (Piano roll timebase) to switch between "Project beats" to "Project synced" and viceversa.
The way Sergei explained with action is almost this except that instead of switching from "Project beats" to "Project synced" it switch from "Project time" to "Project synced"

I've made an attempt and tried this, but when I click on the toggle button it stays in the "Project beats" state ??

Any new suggestions ?

Sorry, haven't forgotten you. I will look into it again. Shouldn't be too complicated.

Ok, thanks a lot! Let me know

Okay, here you go, this should do it.
You forgot to put a command AFTER the condition where it says: "if the next action is ON"

Yesss! Thanks a lot Stevie!!!

I think I understand now:
------------
If (the toggle button is On):
the Action "Timebase: synced to arranger view" is off
the Action "Timebase: Beats (project) is on

esle (the toggle button is On):
the Action "Timebase: synced to arranger view" is off
------------
I that logical ?

It goes like this:

IF (if the next action is ON):
"Timebase: synced to arranger view" <- if this action is ON, IOW timebase is currently synced to arranger view
"Timebase: Beats (project)" <- do this action, changing to Timebase: Beats

ELSE (if the first action is OFF):
"Timebase: synced to arranger view" <- do this action

Crystal clear, thanks xpander for the explanation
And thanks everybody for the help

You are welcome! And you know what is crazy...? In this very moment, I wanted to solve this as well, without knowing, that this custom action does exactly that!
