Initial State after switching Set Lists and Songs

1

While using Cantabile 4 (build 4338) I made the following two observations:

After switching to another set list, initially no song is selected. I expected that the first song is selected. You need to select a song manually. When you quit and restart Cantabile the first song is selected.

After switching between songs, no media player/ media file is selected. In the routing diagram at the bottom there is the (no selection) indication. I expected that the first media player / first media file is selected. You need to select the media player and media file manually. Even after quitting and restarting Cantabile no selection is made.

Is this behaviour by design? What are your expectations?

Go to Tools/Options then this. Note that if you want to check the “Reload last setlist” you should first select another song load option, check it, then select Load first song in setlist. BTW this screenshot is from an older version of C4 but the menu is pretty similar.

On the media player, check this

There are some great videos on all of this on Cantabile’s Youtube channel, and also great guides… search the forum for guides and tutorials also.

Thanks for responding. I do have the settings as you mention them. But as described in my initial post

  • the ‘Load first song in set list’ only works for the initial startup of Cantabile, but not when switching between set lists.
  • also ‘Selected File’ only works when switching song parts, but not when switching songs.
