I decided to try this note binding suggested to me in my last post:
The idea is for any note activity to trigger a MIDI activity indicator on my iPad. My MIDI indicator is always looking for MIDI note #0.
Hi The_Elf,
The binding I posted was for a note to CC button. To use a single MIDI note you must add a second binding that sends a ‘Note Off’ message to the same target note.
Sorry if I gave wrong instructions, I thought you wanted a CC message as the target for your indicator, anyway this method will get it done. As for there being no ‘Note Switch’ as a target like there is for the source (and it only allows one note at a time, no ‘Any’ selection) I would have to defer to @brad.
ADDENDUM, I posted the wrong picture and corrected it.

Thanks for that, Dave.
Penny may be dropping…
So ‘Note’ in the context of a binding is actually ‘Note On’. I need both that and a ‘Note Off’ binding to do the whole job.
Seems a bit odd, but I think I get it.
Yes, that right The_Elf, since notes can hold (stay on at the given velocity) the note and note off are separate for the purpose of target bindings. The Note (switch) is a Source only thing that produces a note on and off in the manner of a button (no hold of the note). All other note use in bindings is either note or note off.
Cheers,
Dave
Thanks for helping me to understand. Often you have to throw yourself in and try to swim before these things become clear.
TBH it doesn’t matter whether I use a note or a controller for my indicator. It’s just getting something out of Cantabile I can rely on that matters. With your help I seem to have achieved that.
I have 16 little indicators that will help me when I’m setting up new songs:
