Unwanted Magic Sheet switching

Scenario .... I have two external monitors on an Eos, with a Magic Sheet tab open on each. Tab A needs to flip between Magic Sheets 1 and 2 (there's a button on MS1 to switch to MS2, and vice versa). Tab B needs to be showing MS3 at all times.

The trouble is, after setting things up that way, if I hit the button on the MS in tab A to switch from MS1 to MS2, it changes the view in tab B and I lose MS3. How can I stop this behaviour, and only have the MS in tab A responding to the button?

    There are plans for a Magicsheet navigation object that will fix this situation. It is supposed to be in 2.3 (hint hint, nudge nudge)

    Currently you have a couple of options :

    Option 1 - Build some Macros to handle the MS switching. The key difference with the Macros is that you can specify a Tab Number. Tab_down # Tab_Up Magicsheet # Part # Enter - Will switch a specific Tab to a specific Sheet and specific view. The downside of this is it will switch focus to the MS Tab.

    Option 2 - If your MSs are full screen you can use single screen snapshots to change a specific screen to a specific sheet.

    Edit - loosing all the formatting in a post still sucks

    Hi there,
    I recently watched your Masterclass on "live music programming' for the EOS console and am trying to recreate the magic sheet navigation macro you speak of above but am having some problems.
    for the life of me i cannot figure out how to input a TAB_DOWN or TAB_UP command into the macro editor.

    Am i having a case of simple user error? did this feature not make it into 2.3?

    I am running an EOS console as a backup to an ION RPU master.

    Thanks

    The trick is to learn the macro from live.

    Learn # Enter
    Press the Tab key and while holding it enter the tab number you want. Then release the Tab key and then add whatever Magicsheet information you need.

    Then in the macro editor you can clean the macro up, copy it, etc etc to make different versions of it. There is no Tab_up/Down in the macro editor but once you have those commands in the macro you can change the numbers inside the function.
