Very happy user of Cantabile here. Sorry if this is a silly question, but I could not find a response either in the manuals or through a search in this forum (perhaps I haven’t been used the right keywords…)
Anyway, whenever I add new input or output ports in the routing view of Cantabile 4.x, they tend to always appear at the very bottom of either the left or right panel. I then have to manually draf and drop them so that they are close to each other.
Is there a way to “gather” all input and output ports together and (bonus point) automatically arrange them alphabetically?
Yep, this is on my todo list. In the meantime, one work around is to use templates.
eg: if you want all your new songs to have a particular arrangement:
Create a new song
Arrange the ports how you like them
Use File -> “Save As Song Template” and give it a name
Now when you go File -> New, you’ll be prompted to choose a template and if you choose the previosuly saved template, the song will have that port arrangement.
I already do something similar, basically I have a “sparse” song called (surprise!) “Template”, with the input and output ports set up as I want them and some basic racks for pre- and post- effects, and then I duplicate it whenever I want to create a new song.
As I said, this is not really a showstopper, but it’s nice to know that it might come at some point.
