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.

It will look at the RealTrack/Drum source folder name.

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.

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? Band-in-a-Box 2024. Custom Build Desktop PC W/ Windows 10 Home 64-bit. CPU: Intel Core i5-9600k @ 3.7GHz (6 core x 6 threads) RAM: 16GB DDR4.

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!

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 Band-in-a-Box 2024.
