Print List of Realtracks - PG Music Forums

PG Music Home

Is there any way to print a list of all of the Realtracks I have, showing most, if not all, of the info, e.g., instrument, type, feel, tempo, genre, track #, set, etc.?

You could go to the web page and print or take a screen shot from there. http://www.pgmusic.com/realtracks.all.php?os=win

Not really very useful
Why can't the real tracks picker list be dumped to PDF? Or can it already?

Go to Win explorer, click on C-BB-Real tracks. Later, Ray

Shift click on the "update" button in the real tracks picker. That copies the list to the clipboard, so that you can paste it into a word processor and print it.

Oh Oh, our secret is out!

That's the trouble with Secrets, Jazzy!! Lol !
Hey Floyd, what a great title for one of your songs

Peter, thanks for the response and for letting the "secret" out!
However, the RealTracks data that is placed on the clipboard does not include the Instrument, Type, Feel, Tempo or Genre columns, which, at least for my purposes, diminishes the usefulness of the "feature". Like many users, I do not use styles at all, but instead assemble a combo or band for a particular tune by picking from the individual RealTracks, using parameters like tempo, feel, instrument, genre or artist. Even though the RealTracks picker dialog can be filtered and sorted by a given column, it still cannot be analyzed in the same complex way that a spreadsheet program like Excel would allow. The RealTracks library is so large (and this is a really GOOD thing), that the ability to analyze it and select a particular track or group of tracks can be very time consuming, and I feel that employing a spreadsheet program as an aide to that process would be very useful.

Hi amsmith,

Good point. I can add other fields to the printout, as you suggested. I've added that to the list.

Thanks, Peter. That's one of the things we've all loved about BiaB over the years (about 15 of thenm for me) - responsiveness to your user base.

My post was deleted?

I didn't think what I wrote was that terrible.

I’m sure it wasn’t. I have had a number of posts disappear also. It wasn’t deleted but somehow got lost into what I call Forum Purgatory!

Yes, sometimes posts made here just disappear from time to time.

Don't know why.

OK, thanks guys.

another secret?

Area 51...

I LOVE the idea of being able to print out all of the RealTracks information!

Duh... I just found the list of the prefix characters in the User's Guide... ("When all else fails, read the ______"

Also...I have one BIG request, both for the BiaB HELP file, and also for the SEARCH function for the PGMusic Forums...

Generally, if I put in a multi-word search, (in this case: style prefix characters) I get 200+ hits...Because it takes EVERY WORD separately and gives me ALL the hits with "style", "prefix", and "characters", whether singly or together. And if I put it in quotes, "style prefix characters", I get ZERO hits because it doesn't seem to know what to do with quotes. This is standard Microsoft / Google / InternetExplorer search-functionality. I should be able to search with ANY combination: i.e., "prefix characters" style ... etc.

The Standard HELP file for BiaB has the same problem, and it makes it darn inefficient to try to find what you're looking for from "Help"...

Just a suggestion...

Thanks!

No print my private list but print list of all realtracks of pgmusic. It's possible?

Here's an Excel spreadsheet list of all the Realtracks that I have.

Realtrack list (22 May 2018)

I've been collecting the Realtracks since they were first invented in 2008. This should mean that I have most of what's available.

one of my songs: With You In My Arms

Thanks for doing this, Noel!

Since the question comes up periodically, I wonder if this spreadsheet could be in the Tips and Tricks Forum? Maybe it’s already there - I’ll go check..

I don't think it is, Matt.

In more recent versions of Realtrack picker, there's a button down the bottom of the window called "Copy list" which creates tab-delimited output.

I'll write up how I did it and put the information into Tips And Tricks. That's a good idea.

Hi Cubalibre,

If you open the RealTracks Picker, check the box marked "Show RealTracks that are N/A" (so that you see all of the RealTracks we make), then click Copy List, you'll get a list that includes all of them.

Thanks
Kent
