Faster way to PRE LISTEN A SONG

Damir

SWIPE TO RIGHT on any song in any window, to just quick listen to this song, no pop up windows appearing no other actions like auto play etc, just a simple play to end and stop, if another song is swiped to right immediately plays that song.
This allows us to quickly determine whiich version of the same song to choose to speed up the pre production of playlists or other editing needs.
This swipe to right action to be available only in SONG,PLAYLIST, WITH LYRICS WINDOW CLOSED.
A double tap opens the main window and plays the song unless there is a song playing in which case it places it in the next song mode, a swipe to right samples this song and nothing else.

At the moment it just assumes you want to perform this song and opens up the main window and thats great if performing, but not so great if you are preparing a playlist and want a quick preview of the song before committing to anything.

I know this auto pop up lyrics can be changed in settings, but i dont like chaging my standard performance settings as it can be dangerous if you forget to change back afterwards and start performing.

A lot of of time is actually spent preparing set playlists we dont need lyrics poping up we just want a quick sample of a song to make sure it is the correct choice, this would be handy in playlists and Song mode.
With some songs i have 3 versions of the same songs, Style, Pitch, Speed might be different so having a quick way of sampling the songs would really save time not to mention if using MULTITRACK.

Can Anyone else think of a simpler way or is there a way to achieve this already that im not aware of?

Damir Damir I also have different versions of the same song. I use the Artist field for Key and capo position info (e.g CAPO 2 - E shape) so for the same songs in different keys I refer to this (Artist) field. Any differences in pitch or speed are automatically shown by STAGETRAXX. All my old versions of songs are identified with an ‘Archive’ tag which I then exclude from the list Songs. All my acoustic lyrics only songs are coloured yellow. That’s how I do it - I never have to audition a song to choose the one I want. Oh and I sometimes use the title to differentiate between different versions of the same song,

DickyDutch Thanks for that Dicky, yes i already use the artist area as well to quickly group my different file types i find that works faster than Filter, and i use colour of songs to destinguish themas well.
Example
Midi With Drums---midi tracks converted to audio files with drums
Midi No Drums---midi tracks converted to audio with no drums
These are labels i use to distinguish between the two in artist area, search can also filter them easily.
Using this method is a lot faster then multitracks which are very time consuming for little reward, unless you have a specific need for flexability then most definitely great to have, to me Tempo change ability is the most important, then pitch change, then chord change.

Problem with this is i still cant easily destinguish between my 3 versions of the same song within this same playlist when creating playlists or wanting to edit, a nice thing would be to right swipe on a song just plays it and nothing else so i can quickly make a choice of which song i want to deal with.

Because i have used this way since ST birth all my songs are already labeled this way and i can use this to label Lyrics Only or Multitrack songs, yes this is great as long as you have a system that suits your way of working. Filtering is fine but i find it a bit awkward i would rather be able to rename create or delete my filters in the FILTER function so i have quick full control otherwise you have to hunt down every song and change things there if you reguire to change or update a filter to a better filter name etc.

There are a small number of issues that dont work for me in filter.
I am not fully confourtable to dedicate more time to use it till those issues get resolved.
Thanks for the tips , sounds like we run in a very similar way, I LOVE THIS APP!

I like things that speed up my workflow not bog me down or limit me .
