Marker Sequencing
« on: July 07, 2021, 01:01:19 PM »
Many songs have a structure that is one or more verses followed by a chorus, some more verses then a chorus, a bridge then maybe another verse and chorus.  Typically all the choruses are the same.  If I wrote out one chorus and created a marker for it called “Chorus” , and had markers for the verses as “Verse 1”, “Verse 2” etc.  “Bridge”, then it might be possible to create a sequence instruction that says “play these markers in this sequence” .   Say there was a label at the top of the song that said {Verse 1, Verse 2, Chorus, Verse 3, Bridge, Chorus}, triggering the next marker by foot switch or lower screen tap (etc.) would follow that marker sequence.  Then I would need to enter the Chorus lyrics only once.  And if I decided later that I wanted another Bridge and Chorus, all I would need to do is to add that to the marker sequence.
I thought I had submitted this idea earlier, but I don’t see it in the forum, so please excuse if I double posted.

You requested this via email a few years ago, and it's still on my wish list.

For the benefit of others reading this, you can make an automation track that jumps between different sections in whatever order you program. But Turnaround is looking for a faster way to program that sequence.

Of course you can also just copy and paste the chorus or any other repeated sections.

Thanks Arlo.  I couldn’t remember if I suggested this or not.  I’ve been pondering it for some time.
