Hello SF Community!
Question for @Kitch and/or @samuel_henriques: I'm wondering how to select the options in this lesser-used menu found in midi tracks (please see below screenshot)
I'd like to select X number of MIDI tracks and have them cascade their single-note views across selected tracks, ideally starting at the first track that's already assigned.
I've tried implementing this action: https://soundflow.org/store/pkg/pick-path-from-popup-menu
and attempted to modify this script: Cascade outputs on Master Faders but I haven't been successful just yet.
Thanks so much for the help!
samuel henriques @samuel_henriquesHello Curtis,
Try this
function setSelectedMidiTracksHeightSingleNote() { const track = sf.ui.proTools.selectedTrackHeaders; track.forEach(track => { if (track.title.value.endsWith("- MIDI Track ") || track.title.value.endsWith("- Inst Track ")) { track.trackScrollToView(); let trackHeightPos = { x: track.frame.w - 10, y: 5 }; const popupMenu = track.popupMenuOpenFromElement({ relativePosition: trackHeightPos, isRightClick: true, }).popupMenu; popupMenu.menuClickPopupMenu({ useWildcards: true, menuPath: ["single note", "*"] }); }; }); }; setSelectedMidiTracksHeightSingleNote();
Curtis Macdonald @Curtis_MacdonaldThanks Samuel! I can see the script selecting the "single note" menu on a MIDI track, but it doesn't select a single MIDI note, like A-2 for example, like in the photo above. Is it possible to incrementally select each midi note when running a script like this?
Thanks again, so much.
samuel henriques @samuel_henriquesI might be misunderstanding what you need.
On mine it will go to each track and select the first from the single note menu.
I just made an update to work with inst tracks as well.
Check out this screen capture I made:

Thanks Samuel, when I run this script, I see the view change to single note, but it doesn't actually select a specific midi note in that single-note view. I've made a GIF that shows what I'm trying to do. It's basically a workaround for the "Select/Split Notes" to "A New Track Per Pitch" in the Event Operations Window that rarely works as you'd expect it to.
I really appreciate all your support and help, as always! Thanks again.
Curtis- samuel henriques @samuel_henriques
Would that mean the script would have to figure out what notes exist in the track, and then create a new track foe each and set visibility for the note?
I tried the Event operations copy to new track and works if "all notes" is selected in "pitch criteria" and I need to make sure the track is selected but no note is selected.
I could try a script to handle these steps.- Curtis Macdonald @Curtis_Macdonald
That would be more than necessary!
I’m more interested in a script that automatically increments single note views to help aid in template creation, it doesn’t need to detect the notes :)
Good observation in the behavior of the event operation, I’ll keep playing with it, seems like at best it only splits up to 12 notes onto separate tracks…
- samuel henriques @samuel_henriques
How would you know what notes are on a track without manually selecting them?
Should it just select all in the octave 1 menu and then octave 2?
Or Start by octave 8, then 7?- Curtis Macdonald @Curtis_Macdonald
Yes! A ascending sequential selection starting at octave -2 would be ideal! Bonus if the tracks names reflected the midi note or perhaps inserted in the track comments?

Here you go, let me know how it works.

UPDATED just now. Forgot the set oct + note in comments.
- Curtis Macdonald @Curtis_Macdonald
Yes that's it! Wow you just saved me thousands of clicks—THANK YOU!
Question: Is it possible to configure the script to have two basic options? a) begin at 'X' MIDI note, and b) choose between ascending/descending?
I of course understand if this is asking too much, you've already saved me a lot of time and I appreciate this script as-is. Thank you again Samuel!
- samuel henriques @samuel_henriques
Great its working.
Just made an update so you'll get a prompt to choose which note you want to start from.Hope this is it.
- Curtis Macdonald @Curtis_Macdonald
Works like a charm, this is so very helpful. Thank you again Samuel! Really appreciate it :)
