Request for project summary and track text notes

Synthesizer V Studio
1

This request probably exists elsewhere (sorry!)

It would be nice to use text notes to describe a particular track or the entire project so one could look at project progress and the different things that one keeps track of during project development. Logic pro has an area for typing in project and track reference notes (not to be confused with musical notation).

A project summary of sorts would be a huge benefit for the musician.

Thanks.

So you have at least one. You can using it.
But yes, some ways of adding personal information into the SynthV project might help too.
1/ You can add muted track, add notes with text (lyrics) inside the notes.
2/ When I create some scripts, there is a lack of a way to add information outside of a simple blocked dialog. But for your purpose, with a new script we can imagine a solution to store text in a local file (project folder) and then display and call it by a simple keyboard shortcut.

FYI, for the exercise, I created 2 scripts to store and display simple notes in external text files. With a simple shortcut, I can add notes in a SynthV project and display them on demand.
I also added a possible “hack” to save notes in a group (not attached to a track, so hidden). In this case, the notes are stored directly in the project (when it is saved). 2 scripts: One for the project notes and one the notes of each current track.

Notepad++ :slight_smile: i use it for project notes, lyrics, SV converted lyrics (so i can bulk load), track notes, etc etc. plain text files. when it makes more sense to capture things like FX settings which are not available as plain text - screenshots into Google Docs or OneNote export as PDF during archive (to enable reading it later). save presets etc used as well so when you’re proejct is finished you have the active audio, some source audio, the DAW project, the notes etc.

Thank you gentlemen for your responses. On Mac the text equivalent is the ‘Text Edit’ app. I do like the script idea… (hacker that I am) however, I would really like an area within each Synth-V project to type in project and track notes… this would mean less book keeping and even tho I think I am organized, it would require a bit more organization. Maybe this will happen in Version 2.0 ???

(The bulk loading sounds interesting to me, and I have not even got myself into a mess with scripting yet!)
