Adding a cue point via API
I may be totally mistaken- but I can't seem to find any way to add/label a cue point to a song using AbletonOSC. I also don't really see a method in the API documentation that seems to handle that either. I know that it must be possible, at least from the LOM perspective, since their are a number of Max for Live patches that add or modify cue points, but the only methods I'm seeing related to cue points will get all of the cue points and will jump to a cue point. Am I mistaken?
Thanks so much.

Just taken a look. It appears the function in LOM is set_or_delete_cue, which creates/deletes a cue point under the current Arrangement playback position; to name it, you then modify the name property of (I assume) the most recent cue in the cue_points list.
I am tied up with some other projects right now, but will try to find a moment to implement this as soon as I can!
It's not quite as trivial as adding these methods, as I think it would ideally require a new cue_points namespace...
Ok, cool- thanks, makes sense. I'll take a look at it as well and see if I can work on an implementation.
This is now done and documented: /live/song/cue_point/add_or_delete, and /live/song/cue_point/set/name.
