Transport and song tools

Song-level tools. live_get_song_overview is the cheap orientation snapshot the model takes first: tempo, scale and grid, track and scene and cue counts, and the track names with ids. live_set_tempo sets the Set tempo. The overview is also the read-only ableton://song resource.

live_get_song_overview read

Return one cheap snapshot of the Live Set: tempo, scale, grid, track / scene / cue counts, and the list of tracks (each with a stable id, name, and type). Call this first to orient, then drill down with live_list_clips / live_get_notes. No notes or clip contents are included.

Takes no arguments.
