I'd love to be able to have a deck that displays my markers chronologically with their names. This way, I could have a simple way of navigation verse 1, pre-choruse 1, choruse 1, verse 2 etc.

samuel henriques @samuel_henriquesHello Les Cooper,
At this time it's not easily possible to do dynamic surface/decks. In the near future I hope it will be possible to built a surface/deck that gets the markers names from the current session. Until that becomes available, if you have a set nomenclature for markers, you can do a surface/deck with the names of markers you want to navigate to and use a script to navigate to the first with that name.
Something like this should work, just change "verse 1" here
goToLocationName("verse 1")./** @param {string} memLocationName */ function goToLocationName(memLocationName) { const findMemLocationName = sf.proTools.memoryLocationsFetchFromPtx().collection["list"].filter(m => m.name.includes(memLocationName))[0]; if (findMemLocationName) { sf.ui.proTools.memoryLocationsGoto({ memoryLocationNumber: findMemLocationName.number }); } } sf.ui.proTools.appActivate(); sf.ui.proTools.invalidate() goToLocationName("verse 1")- LLes Cooper @Les_Cooper
Fantastic!
Thank you.

@samuel_henriques, I'm wondering if it's possible to make this work for hidden markers.
For exampIe, I have a marker called "BOUNCE" which highlights the region from the start to end of the song on whichever track I'm on.
It would be great to be able to jump to markers for track height, show/hide etc.
samuel henriques @samuel_henriquesThis part of the script is used to go to marker:
sf.ui.proTools.memoryLocationsGoto({ memoryLocationNumber: // Memory Location Number Here });It works by numbers, not names.
So either you can always use the same number for this.
Or if you name those markers and keep them visible,
This script will find and go to them.

AHH, wait, selections are not working for me. Let me try to figure this.
- samuel henriques @samuel_henriques
Got it, and updated the script above.
The problem was usingsf.proTools.memoryLocationsFetch()ignores the selection markers.
Now withsf.proTools.memoryLocationsFetchFromPtx()it works. The only disadvantage I see now is, for the script to read the marker, a newly created marker must be saved in the session. When you create a new marker, you need to save pro tools before you run he script.- samuel henriques @samuel_henriques
IF you really want to keep them hidden, it is possible to script : un-Hide them, got to marker, and hide again.
- samuel henriques @samuel_henriques
Actually this works without the marker being visible. you can ignore my proposition to show all marker types

Thanks @samuel_henriques, This is a bit embarassing but I'm quite new to the coding side of things.
Where* exactly *do I put the number?
I've tried right after the word number and after a colon as well as after the brackets.
- samuel henriques @samuel_henriques
Not problem at all:
You don't need the complete script if you know the numbers of the markers, you only need this bit. And with the new SoundFlow update there are ready made decks/surfaces that go to marker numbers
here:
sf.ui.proTools.memoryLocationsGoto({ memoryLocationNumber: // Memory Location Number Here });- LLes Cooper @Les_Cooper
Great, thanks SO much Samuel!
