Is it possible to trigger a Live API callback when a clip is deleted?

I’d like to trigger a callback every time a session clip on the device’s track is deleted. Sadly, there’s only an “arrangement_clips” observable child at the track level, and the “clip_slots” child notification doesn’t trigger on changes to the contents of a clip slot.

If only there were a “session_clips” observable child at the track level as well!

I don’t want to track the state of each existing clip slot on a track. Is there another solution that I haven’t considered?

You could get partway there by observing live_set selected clip. Perhaps if it’s id changes to 0 you can see if the last known selected id is still a clip and if not then infer it has been deleted.

this has obvious limitations about the workflow for deleting the clips though (as it implies GUI selection) and wouldn’t handle the case where multiple clips are deleted at once, though.
