Convert Label text to LRC file

[bigboss97]

I took the loop from pipeclient and added it to the old script. Now it works

Code: Select all

def do_command(command):
    """Send one command, and return the response."""
    send_command(command)
    reply=''
    start = time.time()
    while reply == '':
        time.sleep(0.1)  # allow time for reply
        if time.time() - start > 5:
            reply = 'PipeClient: Reply timed-out.'
        else:
            reply= get_response()
    print(reply)
    return reply

What does the '1' mean?

Code: Select all

[
  [ 1,
    [
      [ 0, 0, "ccc" ],
      [ 1.55871, 1.55871, "aa" ],
      [ 3.26586, 3.26586, "Hello" ] ] ] ]
      

My understanding, there's no newline in labels. For my purpose (label2lrc), I want to have multiple lines. My idea is, allow user to add a label with special characters, e.g.'\n' Then the converter will make a new line. Does this make sense? or any better solution with Audacity?

What does the '1' mean?

Track index = 1.

The first track is index=0.

My understanding, there's no newline in labels.

It is "possible" to put a newline in a label, but it is not officially supported and will create strange looking labels.
It is not safe to rely on multi-line labels as we don't know if they will work in the future or not.

Another question...
'SetLabel:' modifies existing labels. Is there a way to insert new label through pipe?

Is there a way to insert new label through pipe?

AddLabel: Add Label at Selection none Creates a new, empty label at the cursor or at the selection region

Thanks, this is exactly what I need.
Now I can Use NewLabelTrack: to insert a new track, use Select: to set the cursor and then AddLabel:.
One thing I couldn't figure out, the number of tracks. I've to ensure that I'm selecting the right (last) track to add the labels.

I love the pipeclient. Now I can test the command one by one

Super That's precisely what I intended the command line interface to be used for.

[bigboss97]

After NewLabelTrack:, I want to do a Select:. How do I find out what's the latest track number?

[steve]

You can get the number of tracks and track types from "GetInfo: Type=Tracks".

Sorry Steve, I need your help again
I want to populate labels in a selected region. But I couldn't find any parameter in GetInfo: to retrieve the start and end of the current selection.
