Play a bit and stop, play the next bit and stop etc.
Hello. If there's a session, several compositions (backing tracks) in one REAPER project...
And you press "Play" (or strike some shortcut) —
and REAPER plays one composition (right next to the edit cursor)
and stops at its end without any command from you, from a user;
then when the band is ready you strike the same shortcut —
and REAPER plays the next composition and stops on its own again at the composition's end;
etc.
How do you achieve this?

If you have the SWS extension: you could enable marker actions and insert a marker named "!1008". 1008 is the command ID for the "Transport: Pause" action. It will be run when the playhead reaches the marker (+- a few ms of error).

Hi, cfillion.
If I want to use !1016 (Transport: Stop),
how do I toggle between the settings "Stop and go to the start point"
and "Stop and stay where you are" for the edit cursor?

What cfillion suggested would work pretty much exactly how you wanted.
Those !1008 action markers at the end of each composition will pause the playback...and that pause action will also bring the edit/play cursor to that marker. So you only need to hit the shortcut for Play whenever needed and the playback pauses again automatically by the next action marker.
If you want to stop (not just pause) the playback in between the songs, you could add the stop action to those markers: !1008 1016

I have a friend who is the leader of a fairly large working band..
They use reaper both for practice and performance...
so they have backing tracks for practice, along with a few live virtual instruments for each song...
they have each of these on a tab as it's own project...
and they can load up the tabs as a set list, and also save various 'set lists' by saving all tabs to a file...
They have a short cut to goto the next tab and then they just hit Play...
even that goto next tab could be a marker action at the end of each project...
This scheme has been working great for them

Hi, hopi
It seems the background tabs don't (or almost don't) affect CPU, system performance. So, it looks like a good option. Thanks.
