Reaper Scripting for Dummies an add-on for BiaB
DAWs are much the same in what they can do but Reaper stands out because of it's scripting.
From the writers of WinAmp it's truly customizable.
Install https://www.sws-extension.org
Install https://reapack.com/
In Reaper menu Extensions > Reapack > Browse packages.. in Filter paste js_ReaScriptAPI
right click > Install > Apply

You can get Lua functions and scripting info with a simple web search.
Here's a simple script to print the current cursor position in the console.
File > Action > Show Action List > New Action > New Reascript...
copy and paste into empty script window > Ctrl+S to save and run.
This script will be in the list that you can select then click Run.
Code:
function print(value)
  reaper.ShowConsoleMsg(tostring(value).."\n")
end
cur_pos = reaper.GetCursorPosition()
print("Pos= "..cur_pos)

Excellent post @musocity ! I've been using Studio One Pro since forever, but have a license for Reaper good through v7.99. I have just installed it on my current laptop, so this post is perfectly timed for me!

It's a lot easier than working out Studio One scripting.
Here is some S1 scripting info if you ever need it
