is there anyway to use m4l or remote script to move certain track into a group?
Hey folks, I’m trying to build a small workflow tool for Live 12.
The idea is simple: I want to press a shortcut and move the currently selected track into a predefined Group Track, for example Cmd+Shift+1 sends the selected track into GuitarBuss. If the group does not exist, ideally it would create it too.
So far I tried a custom MIDI Remote Script:
The shortcut works and the Remote Script receives the MIDI note correctly.
I can get
song.view.selected_track.I can find the target group track by name in
song.tracks.I can read
track.group_track,track.is_grouped, andtrack.is_foldable.Existing child tracks correctly report
group_track == GuitarBuss.But trying to set
track.group_track = target_groupfails becausegroup_trackseems to be read-only.I also could not find
song.move_trackorsong.group_tracksin the exposed Python API.I tried routing-related properties like
output_routing_type, but that only changes audio routing and does not make the track visually/group-structurally part of the Group Track.
I also looked briefly at the M4L LOM side, and it seems to expose the same kind of properties: group_track, is_grouped, is_foldable, etc., but I didn’t find a callable method to actually move/re-parent a track into a group.
So my question is:
Is there any supported or semi-hidden way, from Max for Live or MIDI Remote Scripts, to move an existing track into an existing Group Track?
Any pointers would be super appreciated.
