How To Toggle Grid Modes in Pro Tools?

    Hi - thanks in advance.

    I can see a set grid mode option that lets me set the grid mode to be one of the four options - I could therefore create 4 buttons on the deck for this. Bit wasteful of space though.

    So, I was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction for reading resource or videos on how to create a macro/script that will allow me to create a toggle button that will go through each options in turn? Eg GRID->SLIPS->SHUFFLE->SPOT would be good - or whatever sequence I choose. Might just be GRID to SLIP and back again - I think that might be a more useful toggle.
    Thanks in advance

    1. You'll need to learn about if/else statements:

      And you can find inspiration in this video for how to read values from UI elements (ie. which one is selected):

      It won't get you the full way, but it should help you get started a little bit.
