Get group track in which my track is in.
Hi,
I can know if a track is, in fact, a "group track" if I get the "is_foldable" attribute. But is there a way to know if a "non-foldable" track is, as well, inside a group track?
Thanks for your help!
For tracks inside a group the property 'available_output_routing_types' contains an entry of the group track. However, it applies to audio tracks only.
All tracks have a child called "group_track". So just call "get group_track" on the track object. For tracks which are in groups this will return the "id nn" (the id of the containing group track) but for tracks which are not in groups this will return "id 0".
Hi Tyler,
very interesting, but I don't see this feature in my LOM documentation.
Can you please give a pointer where it's documented.
Fair point, Broc, I guess it isn't documented. I found it using my LiveAPI-Interactive gadget ( http://www.maxforlive.com/library/device.php?id=4925 ). FWIW if you call getinfo on a track you should see it there.
[live.object] (Track) > getinfo
info id 589
info type Track
info description This class represents a track in Live. It can be either an Audio track\\, a MIDI Track\\, a Return Track or the Master track. The Master Track and at least one Audio or MIDI track will be always present. Return Tracks are optional.

Thanks. Using your tool with Live9/Max7 I don't get that entry.
So it seems to be new in Live10/Max8.
Ah, thanks for pointing that out. That makes some sense given the track nesting behaviors/capabilities changed in Live10.
