GP Selector: Song and Rackspace Selector Extension

I have had that issue on earlier versions. But I can’t replicate it on my Intel MacBook (Ventura). I’ll need to dig into the code to try and figure out what’s going on. Could you try the Lyrics/Chords extension and see if it does the same thing with songs?

Thanks for getting back to me.

I loaded the Lyrics/Chords extension and had no issues.

Since I had to add a bunch of blank songs in setlist view I retested GP Selector in song mode and saw the same behavior. As soon as I remove the keywords for custom colors scrolling works without issue.

My computer is an M2 Max Silicon if that points you anywhere.

Many thanks!!!

That’s a good clue, thanks!

@Sternen I’ve tracked the issue down and released a fix.

I’ve used the GP Selector extension for the last week at gigs and rehearsals and it has, in fact, been a game changer! Thank you!

I’d like to make a couple requests, if you think they might be helpful to other people.

  1. A way to customize the text color. The current text color is a medium grey which I have found to wash out with background colors are both too bright and too dark. Personally, I would like to make the text pure white.
  2. A way in the config file to choose whether to display line numbers. I would like to turn them off.
  3. A way to lock the button height. Right now the height of the button scales with the width of Selector window. I use an ipad as a second screen (via Teamviewer) and can scroll and select directly on the ipad. Being able to lock the button height would allow us to balance having a button at a good size for touch control with how many rackspsaces are visible on the screen.

Again, this is just a wish list and appreciate what you have done here.

Thanks again!

Hi @Sternen, thanks for the feedback - I’m glad you’re finding it useful!

If you install the latest update, add the following to the preferences file, in the “Defaults” section:

DisplayNumbers = false
TextColor = FFFFFFFF
FixedHeight = 50

The supported heights for the rackspace buttons are 40-100 (the default minimum being used currently in the extension is 50). I will think about adding a way to do this in the UI at some point in the future.

Dude, you rock!!

I have gigs today and tomorrow, so am going to hold off until Monday to install the update. If I get brave I will install it in the morning. Can’t wait to give it a try! :grin:
