Navigating Ableton with node

[chozilla]

Hello,

I am currently navigating in Ableton with some Midi-CC events and wonder if there is a possibility to change from Session to Arrangement view and detect what the current View is to apply a different navigation scheme?

How would you access those information? Should it be under song.view.focus_document_view?
I still have to figure out how to explore the python results, and how to handle all the raw responses.
How to find out if something is read only or can be set.

Best regards

case 43: // lower Scene
{
    const scenes = await song.get("scenes");
    const scene = await song.view.get('selected_scene');
    const index = scenes.indexOf(scenes.filter((t) => t.raw.id === scene.raw.id)[0]);
    if(index > 0) {
        await song.view.set('selected_scene', scenes[index-1].raw.id);
    }
    break;
}

case 45: // previous Track
{
    const tracks = await song.get("visible_tracks");
    const index = tracks.indexOf(tracks.filter((t) => t.raw.id === track.raw.id)[0]);
    if(index > 0) {
        await song.view.set('selected_track', tracks[index-1].raw.id);
    }
    break;
}

case 46: // next Track
{
    const tracks = await song.get("visible_tracks");
    const index = tracks.indexOf(tracks.filter((t) => t.raw.id === track.raw.id)[0]);
    if(index + 1 < tracks.length) {
        await song.view.set('selected_track', tracks[index+1].raw.id);
    }
    break;
}

case 44: // collapse & un-collapse
{
    if (await track.get('is_foldable')) {
        await track.set('fold_state', (await track.get('fold_state') ? 0 : 1));
    } else {
        const group = await track.get('group_track');
        if(group) {
            const tracks = await song.get('tracks');
            const groupTrack = tracks.filter((t) => t.raw.id === group?.id)[0];
            await groupTrack.set('fold_state', 1);
            await song.view.set('selected_track', groupTrack.raw.id);
        }
    }
    break;
}

Hey @chozilla,

I've just released a new version with support for the application.view class. You can get the current view using:

await ableton.application.view.get("focused_document_view");

Thank you so much, i will tinker around with that on the weekend.
