Possible Use of Song Name in Track Name #4

Closed SJ02 closed 1 week ago

Hi. A multi-selection of ChiRP -written MIDI files, when dragged into Ableton Live as clips, ends up there with all the clips having the same name: "Chord-Custom".

If possible and reasonable in all other senses, I think it would be helpful if the files were written in a way such that when dragged into Ableton Live as clips then the clips each are named for the individual song rather than "Chord-Custom".

Thanks for considering this.

Thanks for the suggestion. Sounds reasonable - I just need to think how to make this customization work in the general case. I will report back here with updates.

I've made a change to ChiRP and its backend musicxml-midi to include the input filename in the track name. For example:

"Metadata track for anything-goes.musicxml"
"Chord track for anything-goes.musicxml" etc.

Hope this helps!
