SD3 Blocks: How to rename/change title displayed in SD3 Track?

This *should* be trivially easy, but I find no way to rename/retitle a Block in the SD3 Track.  How?  I see you can change the color (by changing the Song Part) but I want to change the name/title to something meaningful, instead of “Hats Tight” or somesuch.  (And where the heck does “Hats Tight” come from, when in the Groove Browser it’s clearly named “Verse 01”?

A very related feature request: display the Block names in the Grid Editor.  It’s nice that at least Grid Editor uses the Block colors, but the names would be handy, too.

After all this time Too track is unfortunately unable to deliver an such relevant but IMHO easy to implement topic.

 

That ist the reason I don’t buy ANYTHING from Tootrack, unless this issue is solved (very important topic to me).

 

That is not the way I await customer care. Very saddening for a high price product like this. The rest of SD3 is great, but it puts a problem in my creativity and workflow, meaning the way I want to work.

Why is this PERFECTLY implemented in EZKeys, but is such a glaring omission here? Even with the part names that are here, where is the “Solo” block for the guitar solos (or any instrument), or “Fade”, “Vamp”, or “Modulation” section. Although these sections are delineated on the song’s lead sheet, when assembling the drums in an linear fashion, it is nice for your drum parts tto correspond with your lead sheet (or as we call them in Nashville, the “chart”). I know it’s not as simple as copying the section of code on the EZKeys app, and pasting it into SD3, but, I doubt it would be such a horribly tricky task to integrate the code. Really surprising for such a top shelf (and WAY ahead of the game) company.

Hi,

you can’t rename Blocks on the SD3 Song Track but it has been requested by several users here on the Forum, so I’m pretty certain it’s on the “wish list”.

Please feel free to drop a line in the Requests & Feedback section about both feature requests.

BR,
John

A moment of silence please as we approach the 5-year anniversary of this repeated request. 🤫
