1) twice? 2) By the way, does Ableton sync with active fader banks in your setup? (Some kind of auto-banking? - I would like it in both directions...)

maybe we should leave "Markers"? All music software has always used "markers". I think it's more familiar that way.

RobrechtV , You made very good additions! Personally I think "Markers" sounds more recognizable, "Locators" need a bit of getting used to.
I'll try to get used to it in a few days, and then I'll say more confidently... Changing the captions in the overlay is not difficult at all.

Got it. Well, let's hope all this will be included in version 2 of this script someday. )

The CLIP button has a completely correct logic of operation. It seems so. EXCEPT that the button caption on overlay should also be changed to DEVICE/CLIP instead of CLIP/DEVICE. )) That's my mistake.

X-Touch Default Layout and X-Touch Alternative Layout .

When I want the CLIP to move with the ...

I've tried to explain what's going on several times. )) My English is too weak... I just took a photo .
See? This is how Ableton starts WITH ONE WINDOW. Session Window is on. The MIDI TRACKS button is lit. But it shouldn't be lit. It should light up when Arrangement Window is up.

The Second window ...

Don't tell anyone! :D

Very, very grateful.

It seems that the three left LEDs "with slashes" are dark ( not lit) when FADERS / SESSION / CLIP are selected.
And when ENCODERS (MASTER) / ARRANGEMENT / DEVICE are selected, they all light up. It's a little different now.

OK, let it be. But it seems to me that the SESSION/ARRANGEMENT LED should not be lit when the Session window is active. Then the LED light is consistent with the logic of the buttons nearby.
I mean, we need to invert:

def __update_session_arranger_button_led(self):
if self.application().view.is ...

In the new build the LEDs go out, and yes, the double click definitely happens only when a second window is open.

With double click. To make the logic uniform, it is necessary that when Session in main window is on, the SESSION/ARRANGEMENT LED is not lit, and is lit when Arrangement in the main ...

So far I've noticed two small oddities:
1) After Ableton launching for the first time switching of SESSION/ARRANGEMENT two presses are required. Switching with TAB always works with the first time. Is this a bug or a feature?
2) After turning off Ableton, the PAN button staying to lit (or what was ...

At the moment, our summary of the button layouts is as follows:

X-Touch Default Layout and X-Touch Alternative Layout .

Renamed FLIP to FADERS/ENCODERS in Alternative Layout to match other labels.
You can place it on GitHub for illustration, visual orientation always helps.

In the end, the ...

Sketch No7 (Scrub and Overdub swapped)

This is Alternative layout. Which of layout variants should we leave as default? I want to depict it for evaluation as well.

PS On the last page you gave me advice on how to swap SCRUB and OVERDUB (on TRIM). It worked great! Personally, I didn't find any ...

...and if someone unscrews the device to replace the LEDs, all that remains is to swap only one pair of colors: LOOP and MASTER. )))

But what do you think about the placement of buttons OVERDUB, SCRUB, G.SOLO and TO ARRN in the last sketch? Don't you like this arrangement?

Maybe just two different scripts - for native interface users and for overlay users?
In this case, the ability to switch is not so important, since it is unlikely that anyone will use both options.

Then we will attach precise drawings for printing of overlay (on paper or on a magnetic base on a ...

Or maybe like this?! (link to an alternative layout sketch)
