Script Request? -Copy Region and contents but ignore time signature/tempo data?
Hello,
I don't know how to script so I'd like to request a script that allows a user to a) Copy a region and its contents but ignore tempo and time signature data. For example, It would be great if I could have a section/region that is in 7/8, copy it to a section that is in 4/4 and not have reaper automatically insert a 7/8 time signature/tempo marker into the 4/4 section thus leaving the 4/4 grid settings intact.
b) If possible have an option do this with a copy/paste style instead of having to drag/copy the region to its destination.
Would someone be able to do this? Or is there one already available?
Happy to donate some cash for this.
-M

Copy items to project markers
bfut_Copy items to project markers, remove overlaps.lua
bfut_Copy items within time selection to project markers, remove overlaps.lua
Copies any selected items to project markers.
HOW TO USE:
1) There must be at least one project marker.
2) Select media item(s).
3) Run the script.
You can use as many markers as you like.
Note the differing time signatures.
edit: large-scale images removed because this script is not what OP is looking for

Thanks tufb but I'm getting messy results.
It doesn't copy to the right place (usually off by a measure), it also adds some of the selected items to a marker near the selection at the same time, and sometimes still adding various time signature changes.
Don't know if I need to change any settings or not?

Can you share screenshots before/after? Which of the scripts did you use? What do you mean when you say "adding various time signature changes" ?
Each script copies to every marker in the project. Here is an old screencapture, maybe that helps https://streamable.com/3crl4

I'm running "copy items within time selection to project markers, remove overlaps"
It seems to add the markers if I use it with ripple edit turned on
The pics show it without ripple edit and the paste ends a measure in front of the marker.
the 6/8 time signature marker was already there before I copied and pasted the items.
Edit:
"Each script copies to every marker in the project"
I don't think that will help me I just want to be able to select a region as normal and be able to copy it without its original time signature.
How can it do that if it's copying to every marker?
Sorry about the small image in the "before" pic. I kept on having to resize it smaller and smaller.

That's native Reaper paste behavior, though. My screenshots/screencaptures have ripple editing OFF.

The topic is "Copy Region and contents but ignore time signature/tempo data". My scripts do just that, except you don't even need a region.
You just select items and off you go. You can copy between different time sigs and the arrangement is unaffected by that, i.e. the length in seconds is unaffected.
Maybe you want something else. Good luck.

Is it possible to have it copy to just one selected marker or at the edit cursor position?
Also, I tried it in a different project and the items copied right at the marker as it is supposed to so the project I first tried it with is having some weird glitch. It did the same with 'smart copy' as well.

The chord sheet in ReaTrak will copy regions and items without time signatures.
It can be done in the chord sheet editor or the scripts
Script: ReaTrak copy measures at cursor.lua
Script: ReaTrak paste measures at cursor (insert).lua
Script: ReaTrak paste measures at cursor (over).lua
Script: ReaTrak paste measures at cursor (chords only insert).lua
Script: ReaTrak paste measures at cursor (chords only over).lua

Hello Bob,
Thanks for your reply I just saw this.
Is ReaTrak a JS plug-in that can be downloaded through Reapack?

just download by right click Save Link/Target As ReaTrak_ver.47.ReaperConfigZip and rename ReaTrak_ver.47.ReaperConfig.Zip
put the scripts you need in the Scripts folder then "Load" them in the Action window.

Thanks very much Bob,
So I just pick and choose the relivant scripts from the "ReaTrak_ver.47.ReaperConfig" folder?
What do I do about the rest of the folders contents (png files.. etc)? Do I put the folder in the Reaper 'Configurations' folder?
Thanks
-M

Drag the scripts you need out into your Scripts folder
(Reaper menu > Options > Show REAPER resource path...)
(Reaper menu > Actions > Show Action List > Load)
(Reaper menu > Actions > Show Action List > Run)
