Changing tracks names

[coeur-de-loup]

Hi,

First of all, this project is awesome, thanks so much for your hard work and for sharing it!

I managed to make the test() script work, but I can't find the right syntax to change a track name... Is it possible?

[coeur-de-loup]

I found the problem. I was trying to access the track by its name instead of its index! Is there a way to get track by name, or we have to loop over all tracks to find index?

const tracks = await ableton.song.get("tracks");
tracks[0].set("name", "hello world")

Hey @coeur-de-loup,

Looping through the tracks is currently the way to go since Live returns an array of tracks. I'd recommend using the find method for this, like:

const tracks = await ableton.song.get("tracks");
const track = tracks.find(t => t.raw.name === "My Track");
track?.set("name", "My Track 2");

I hope this helps!
