LOM access to highlighted time selection in arrangement
Is it possible to access the current time selection in arrangement view through the live action model? Live's interface gives the start and end points when moving over the highlight with the cursor, but I can't find if the LOM exposes these to Max.
If not, maybe there is some other method of getting the current time selection into a patch?
It's in the Song class, representing the live set. Have a look at loop, loop_lenght, loop_start, get_beats_loop_length, get_beats_loop_start.
Those will give me the position of the loop start/end markers rather than the highlighted time selection. I'm trying to access the selection in the arrangement view when you click and drag within a track (while you do this, see "Time Selection" at the bottom of the Live window). The selection can also be extended to an arbitrary set of tracks with shift/command-click.
I agree this would be really useful now, esp now that arranger clips are editable. Butit’s not available. Maybe send a ticket to Cycling and Ableton to expose such a thing.
Please Cycling if you read us, let us use current time selection !
I see it's accessible in the session file (ableton/liveset/timeselection) so it shouldn't be much to make it accessible, possibilities are huge !
