Hey Musocity, I tried running the script and got a popup notification reading "No project markers present!" Am I missing a step? TIA

Is it giving a line number error for the script ? This is the script I use (click Edit to look at script): Script: Write take markers to all items on selected track source folder name.lua function Msg(value)

No line number. I've attached a screenshot so you could also see what items were and weren't checked in the Send to Reaper options in case that is affecting things. (I am trying to keep as few things checked for fear of generating files that I don't need...) ![[Linked Image - Only viewable when logged in]](https://www.pgmusic.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=download&Number=29750&filename=Reaper Script No project markers present.PNG)

You are using a different Script: ReaTrak amagalma_Write project markers or regions as media cues to selected items active takes source files.lua
to write chord names into the wav file you need some regions or markers, to get them just unfold the BB Plugin Chord sheet, then drag the C7 icon (right click for options) to the start of an empty track in Reaper and import the markers, you can leave as markers or change to regions with action > markers to regions
The script here is to write the RealTrack or RealDrum name in the items as take markers, this only works if you are using WAV Instructions in Reaper. It will look at the RealTrack/Drum source folder name.

You have Send Audio for Midi track, this will take longer, best to uncheck that and just drag the midi in or use a Send.
So the "Script: Write take markers to all items on selected track source folder name.lua" will only work on the RT/RD using wav instructions (all the little separate items) it won't work on a rendered midi to wav file.
EDIT: there is also "Script: ReaTrak insert media cue to selected item active take wav source file.lua" that will write text into a wav file as a cue where the cursor is in selected item.

Omg, I feel like a moron for missing that I was using the wrong script  For some reason when copied the proper script to me folder and rebooted Reaper it did not show up when I searched for in the action list. So I imported it instead and it worked like a charm! And wow, thanks a lot for this script! At the very least, I can see how helpful it would be to see everything especially when you are working on a region further towards the right side of the screen, and also when reordering and reorganizing tracks. But then I realized that the fact the text is embedded in each item, and I can drag things around and have multiple items from multiple tracks all on a single track with each item being clearly demarcated what it is.... this is absolute genius!!!  Is there a way to embed the chord information as well?

Follow up question: Is there a way to "Favorite" scripts?
And another issue just popped up. I'm not sure what I did, but now whenever I try to run the scrip I got a popup error box saying "...rs to all items on selected track source folder name.lua:79: bad argument #3 to 'SetTakeMarker' (string expected, got nil)" (the error message begins with the ellipsis)

And yet another follow up question, if I can't get it to also automatically generate chord info with the RT info in each item, is it possible to modify the text to add that information?

You have a recent list in the Actions menu, or you can go to the Scripts folder, copy a script then rename it with a unique name in front of it the load that script in, then search for that name. You should be able to make a toolbar with buttons that run scripts. https://forums.cockos.com/showthread.php?p=1157743![[Linked Image - Only viewable when logged in]](https://www.pgmusic.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=download&Number=29751&filename=Reaper-Toolbar-Buttons.png) ![[Linked Image - Only viewable when logged in]](https://www.pgmusic.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=download&Number=29752&filename=Reaper-Toolbar-Buttons2.png)

Right click on the item > Source properties (this will show the file and path) send me a pic Ah OK, that's starting to make sense. Because I had generated a few more tracks at that point, and some had the BBplugin folder as the source (where it did not work), and others had bb\RealTracks as the source folder, and it works there. Thing is that I generated all the tracks via the plugin (in the sense that none were "dragged in" from the main program, so why the difference? Now that I think of it, I generated the later tracks up top and dragged them in from the side panel rather than using "Send to Reaper." I tried the latter method again, and all is working well! Leaving this rambling comment here for others who may run in to the same issue. Thanks!

You could also copy the midi chord track instead of text items This appears to be the best method. However, my chord sheet when I drag it from the plugin is with MIDI and does not look as optimal for an overlay. ![[Linked Image - Only viewable when logged in]](https://www.pgmusic.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=download&Number=29756&filename=MIDI Chord sheet.PNG) Edit: Nevermind this last bit, I see I just needed to select the chord label option under the dropdown

Another issue, before I wrote that when I use "Send to Reaper" the source of the item the bb/Realtracks (as opposed to the BBplugin). Well, to my great despair that behavior does not remain consistent, and for the life of me I can't figure out how to keep it from only generating such that the source is the Realtrack folders so I can run the script
