Request-Auto Number Tracks

Post by PanicAttackk » Sat May 18, 2024 8:40 pm

Hello,
Is there any way we can get an option to auto number tracks? I know some people don't use the numbers, but I use the numbers plus a short description (# Kick). This helps me find things a lot easier.

It gets annoying when you have to type # over and over again. Any time I need to change the description, There is no short way to do it just using the keyboard. You have to Ctrl-R, backspace to delete everything, type the #, type space, then type the description. Its just a repetitive thing that I find myself doing over and over again.

Not natively, but m4l could do that.

Try this: type Ctrl-R, then right arrow, this will put the cursor at the end of the description without anything selected. You can also double-click somewhere to the right of the description, this will only select the text for overwriting, but not the "# ".
