Macro to select between 2 markers

    Hey,

    Im looking to make a simple macro that can select the start and end markers of a song. I always number the start marker with 100 and the end marker with 200. To do this manually you press the commands [.100.] and then [.200.] on the number pad but whilst holding shift.

    Any ideas how to make a macro/script that can do this? Any help greatly appreciated.

    Thanks!
    Joe.

      This should do it.
      Just change the values for the memLocation constants to the memory locations you want to use:

      const memLocation1 =  100
const memLocation2 =  200

sf.ui.proTools.memoryLocationsGoto({
    memoryLocationNumber: memLocation1
})
sf.ui.proTools.memoryLocationsGoto({
    memoryLocationNumber: memLocation2,
    extendSelection:true
})

        @Kitch - something like this should be part of the official PT package

            there is "select between markers", "extend to previous/next marker" in the official pro tools package under "memory locations". less specific than what the OP is looking for. I have a macro that does "select between markers" and then invokes the edge tool. handy for changing sections of automation.
