Stream deck for pre named marker notes

Yeah the Notes App is incredible!

Something like:

const markerName = "DX";

function getNextFreeMemLocNumber() {
    var usedNumbers = {};
    var memLocs = Array.from(sf.app.proTools.memoryLocations.invalidate().allItems);
    for (let memLoc of memLocs)
        usedNumbers[memLoc.number] = true;

    for (let i = 1; i < 9999; i++)
        if (!usedNumbers[i])
            return i;

    throw `No free memory location numbers found`;
}

function createMarker(name) {
    var number = getNextFreeMemLocNumber();
    sf.app.proTools.createMemoryLocation({
        number: number,
        colorIndex: 1, //your choice
        name: name,
        startTime: sf.app.proTools.getTimelineSelection().inTime,
        reference: "Absolute",
    })
}

sf.ui.proTools.appActivateMainWindow();
createMarker(markerName);

I see that the SDK version of my package does indeed not work in chasing in real time but instead places a marker at the current timeline insertion. I see that as a feature not a bug :P

However if you use the older version of the package that uses UI it will work as you'd like.

In Advanced Memory Locations package, there is a folder called Legacy Package and in that is a Command Template called Advanced Memory locations Template :

Create your presets in that and populate your deck with that one and it will drop markers while playing.

yes of course, that makes sense
