Lishy yes i know , we would not want that as it would kill our backing, thats why it should be capable of doing that in lyrics only because it has no audio, so if the user wants to interupt the play mode and move to another text he should be able to do that in lyrics only mode.
This is something Peter needs to think about.

      Lishy ST does have a midi song select command, but that won’t help in his situation.

      That’s interesting, how does that work ?
      So you can send a midi message from a foot pedal to select a specific song?

          Damir exactly that or from a DAW perhaps.

              Damir perhaps an option for either but not sure how that would work in V4 where he is proposing having one song mode.

                Lishy exactly that or from a DAW perhaps.

                I don’t think that’s possible right now as that would involve each song having a specific midi program number in ST3 , I know you can select numbering to the song order but that would change when reordering songs,
                Perhaps what we should have in Playlists only is a system when you create a playlist the first 127 songs in that playlist can be recalled by a foot's witch via a midi command , the only thing with that is if you re order your playlist the foot switch commands become wrong.
                So I don’t know how Peter is going to implement this you almost want an ability to enter the midi command in every song so it stays with it no matter what position and can be recalled by the same command on the foot switch.

                    Damir I don’t think that’s possible right now as that would involve each song having a specific midi program number in ST3

                    It is already possible. Scroll down to the bottom of song details.

                          Lishy Thanks Lishy , well I did not know that.
                          Well then, that solves the issue of sending a midi command from a device to choose a song all you do then is scroll manually by foot to see your lyrics.
                          I assume that’s all that was wanted.
                          You should not need a set time in that case so you can choose any song at any time and just scroll through the text. Using a time setting as play function restricts the new song selection.

                            Chamery During a live concert, you want to act with as few buttons as possible! And when you really play a song live, the duration can fluctuate. So I'd just like to be able to move on to the next song, by manipulating a single midi control.

                            Use the Crossfade action to move from one song to another during playback.

                              i Peter, thanks for your reply.
                              Thanks also to Damir and Lishy for taking the time to help me.

                              I tried to activate the crossfade, but I don't really understand what I'm supposed to do.

                              Here's what I did:

                              • I assigned the “Next Song” action in the midi settings.
                              • I went to Settings > Fade Settings, and set the following settings:

                              But when I click on my midi controller, I always get the message "Not Possible during Playback”

                              Thanks

                                Chamery I don’t use it but I think you need to assign the midi message to the ‘initiate crossfade’ option in midi assigns and not next song.

                                    That’s because Peter has programmed it that once you hit play nothing will stop the show except the STOP button or the XFADE , I think Lishy has hit it on the nose, you need to program the midi command to send a XFade message to ST3 to get to the next song whenever you want this should work while you are in play mode.

                                      What Lishy and Damir said. You need to assign the crossfade action to your controller and then when you hit it, the app will crossfade to the song that is marked as "NEXT".

                                      Thanks, I'll try it out, and come back to confirm if it's ok with me!
