SONG NAME Track

Prefer clips over locators? Define your songs with a dedicated track of named clips.

Instead of song locators, you can add a track named SONG NAME and drop one clip per song. A1R uses each clip as a song boundary:

• The clip name = the song title.
• Add [m:ss] in the clip name for an explicit duration, e.g. Way Maker [5:30].
• All the same locator flags work in clip names too (colour, skip, tags…).

Sections still come from your locators (or MIDI clips) inside each song's span. This is a fast way to lay out a set without peppering the timeline with song locators.

Sections from MIDI clips

When a section has no locator, A1R can read it from a MIDI clip at that position — the clip name becomes the section name (with the same flags). Great for arrangements that are already clip-based.

• Skip by colour Lite+ — colour a section clip dark gray (#3C3C3C) and A1R skips that section in playback, no +SKIP flag needed.
• Clips after SONG END are ignored — anything on the track past a song's SONG END/STOP marker isn't read as a section, so tails and scratch clips there won't clutter the setlist.
• Last section length — a song's final section runs for exactly its clip's length, giving A1R a real duration and bar count even with no locator after it.

Songs become colour-coded blocks; each section shows its bar count and duration.
