Arrangement view does not focus/scroll to selected track

[YannickBisson]

Hi,

In Arrangement view, If I select a track with Push, or any controller like Qcon, Behringer, Faderport, Akai, or any midi Controller with a Midi CC mapped to select a track, Live doesn’t move /scroll the screen at all to show and put the focus to the selected track.

So It gets REALLY frustrating to select a track with the Push, then fetch the mouse and scroll to that selected track. Total workflow killer. But what is more frustrating, is that it works when in Session view....

Any one here managed to do a workaround? is any Max device doing that?


Thanks!

I've been waiting for this to be addressed for 10 years personally when I noted the same behaviour when I first got my MCU.

No workaround I am aware of but maybe a bug report could help get this addressed (if I remember)

I know this is an old post but thought I'd share is it may help someone.

The best workaround I can found for now is to simulate arrow key presses in max for live using this http://www.11olsen.de/code/max-objects/11strokes

You know Live could be better when the best workaround available is an inelegant M4L hack.

If someone stumbles upon this, in ableton 12, this scrolling only happens when the arrangement view is NOT focused aka no black or grey frame around it. if you press Ctrl+F for example to focus the browser, and then scroll using a midi controller/anything that ends up in a remote script, IT DOES SCROLL THE WINDOW.

For anyone writing scripts here, the following code will allow you to bypass this:

Code: Select all

    def _scroll_tracks(self, delta):
        tracks = all_visible_tracks()
        new_index = track_index(track_list=tracks) + delta
        if action.select(tracks[clamp(new_index, 0, len(tracks) - 1)]):
            self._view.focus_view("Session")
            self.notify_scrolled()
            self._view.focus_view("Arranger")
