Playlist Manager Pro 1.4 User Guide - New Features

Welcome to the advanced features of Playlist Manager Pro! This document will guide you on how to use the new tools added from version 1.4 onwards, helping to make your workflow in REAPER more efficient and seamless.

1. Track Notes

This feature allows you to add important notes, comments, or reminders to each track (region) in your playlist.

How to use:

1.    Select a Track: Click on a track in the main playlist to make it active.

2.    Open the Notes Section: Expand the "Notes (Track Notes)" section in the main interface.

3.    Enter Your Notes: A text box will appear. You can type any notes here, for example: "Needs bass EQ adjustment," "This mix sounds best," or "Use for the outro." The notes support multiple lines.

4.    Automatic Save: All changes you make are saved automatically.

5.    Quick View Notes: To quickly review a note, simply hover your mouse over any track name in the main playlist. A small info box (tooltip) will appear, displaying the full track name and the entire content of its note.

2. Project Sync

This is a powerful feature that allows you to "link" a specific playlist to a REAPER project file (.rpp). When you open that project and run the script, the linked playlist will be loaded automatically.

How to use:

1.    Save Your Playlist: First, make sure the playlist you want to sync is already saved. You can do this in the "Save & Add Regions" section.

2.    Load the Playlist: Click on the saved playlist's name in the list to load it.

3.    Link to Project:

o    Expand the "Save & Add Regions" section.

o    A new button named "Link to Project" will appear.

o    Click this button. The script will create a link between the currently active playlist and your current REAPER project file.

4.    Confirmation:

o    After a successful link, you will see a [Synced] indicator next to the playlist's name in the list. The button for this playlist will also turn green (when not selected) for easy identification.

5.    Automatic Loading: The next time you open this exact .rpp project file and launch the Playlist Manager Pro script, the linked playlist will be automatically loaded and activated, ready for you to work with immediately.

3. Pro Features

The "Pro Features" section contains advanced playlist management tools to help you filter and create smart playlists.

a. Tag Management

4.    Click the "Add Tag" button.

• Remove a Tag: Click the small x button next to the tag name you want to delete.
• Filter by Tag:

1.    Check the "Enable Tag Filter" box.

3.    Click on one or more tags to filter the playlist. Only tracks containing all of your selected tags will be shown.

4.    Click "Clear Tag Filter" to remove the filter.

b. Smart Playlists

Create dynamic playlists based on rules you define. For example, create a playlist that automatically includes all tracks with a rating above 4 stars AND tagged as "Chorus".

• Create a Smart Playlist:

1.    Click the "Create New Smart Playlist" button.

2.    In the editor window that appears, give your playlist a name.

3.    Below, start adding rules:

§  Field: Choose the attribute to filter by (Rating, Name, Color, Tag).

§  Condition: Choose the condition (is greater than, is less than, contains, does not contain...).

§  Value: Enter the value for that condition.

4.    Click "Add Rule" to add the rule. You can add multiple rules.

5.    When finished, click "Save".
