FR: ReaScript functions to Get Different Takes Notes in MIDI Editor

[X-Raym]

Hi,


With ReaScript we can access currently active take in MIDI editor, thanks to reaper.MIDIEditor_GetTake( midieditor )


The problem is that returns only one take, and if you have "One MIDI editor per project options", you can select and edit multiple takes at the same time.


On the following screenshot, you can see how scripts works only in currently active take, but native actions works on all selected items. (Note: I assume I don't miss a function





We miss a function to enumerate all takes active in the MIDI editor, for making scripts which works on all selected notes.


Even the MIDI_GetNote function do require a take as argument.


What we would require is either:

• A way to enumerate all takes open in MIDI editor.

  reaper.MIDIEditor_EnumerateTakes( midi editor ), reaper.MIDIEditor_GetTake( midieditor, i )

• or a way to GetNotes in the midi editor, but without the need of "take" parameter (this value will instead be returned by the function) - with a midieditor as parameter.

  retval, take, selected, muted, startppqpos, endppqpos, chan, pitch, vel = reaper.MIDI_GetNote( midieditor, noteidx )

I think the first solution would be more handy. It would also works with other events.



Thanks for your support !

Note that all MIDI scripts are affected by this limitations. Lokasenna's ones, Kawa's ones, juliansader's ones...
Having a solution for this would be huge, and would be consistent with REAPER workflow (the end user see notes selected, and expect the script to works on all of them).

Anything in the MIDI editor should be accessible via the MIDI editor API functions.

I have been pleading for this for a long time: MIDI editor: API to get/set editable/visible state of items. No new features needed!.

Yes, it's the same FR as js's one I think.

It would boost MIDI scripting power so much.
