No way to script (applescript) timecode triggers?

[Andrew Nagy]

Im working through an apple script and just came up against a roadblock.

It doesnt seem like there is any way to script in the actual timecode trigger "time" into a script that creates new cues. I see that I can enable it but past that I can't actually set the time? Is this true?

Here's the script I have so far

tell application "QLab"

activate

tell application "QLab"

try

get selected of front workspace

on error

display dialog "There is no workspace open in QLab." with title dialogTitle with icon 0 ¬

buttons {"OK"} default button "OK" giving up after 5

return

end try

end tell

tell front workspace

repeat 1 times

make type "MIDI"

set newCue to last item of (selected as list)

set channel of newCue to "2"

set byte one of newCue to "3"

set command of newCue to program_change

set q name of newCue to "Test"

set timecode trigger of newCue to enabled
//How do I set the timecode now?

end repeat

end tell

end tell

You can set it through the OSC API

Look at the recent thread scripting problem, last post,for a solution you can adapt to this case.

Sorry, It appears you can't. I was doing the OSC API from memory and confused the OSC timecode from the MIDI cue with the timecode trigger.

I'm doing it with ui scripting. Tab 9 times. Enter code. It works ok for what I need (turning 289 cues into qlab timecode)

Thanks mic!

Heres the final script if it's ever useful to anyone:

set csvData to read "/Users/andrewnagy/Desktop/test.csv"

set csvEntries to paragraphs of csvData

set vals to {}

set AppleScript's text item delimiters to ","

tell application "QLab"

activate

tell application "QLab"

try

get selected of front workspace

on error

display dialog "There is no workspace open in QLab." with title dialogTitle with icon 0 ¬

buttons {"OK"} default button "OK" giving up after 5

return

end try

end tell

tell front workspace

repeat with i from 1 to length of csvEntries

set vals to text items of (item i of csvEntries)

set theCue to item 1 of vals

set theTrack to item 2 of vals

set theTimecode to item 3 of vals

set finalTimecode to theTrack & ":" & theTimecode

set theChannel to item 4 of vals

set theNumber to item 5 of vals

make type "MIDI"

set newCue to last item of (selected as list)

set channel of newCue to theChannel

set byte one of newCue to theNumber

set command of newCue to program_change

set q name of newCue to finalTimecode

set q number of newCue to theCue

set timecode trigger of newCue to enabled

delay 0.1 -- This gives you a chance to see the current state

tell application "System Events"

ignoring application responses

tell application "QLab"

activate

end tell

tell application process "QLab"

tell front window

UI elements

repeat 9 times

keystroke tab

end repeat

keystroke finalTimecode

keystroke tab

end tell

end tell

end ignoring

end tell

delay 0.5

end repeat

end tell

end tell
