I've come to rely so much on MSP that I'm a fully committed user...except that I have a separate master list of songs rated at how confident I am at playing each one exclusively instrumentally (instead of singing and noodling around). Of course, I want to automate that.
Looks like a very good way is to set up "saved filters" so I can, regardless of what genres I have selected, quickly get a list of only the songs I play well on a given instrument or vocally from within those genres. And if I want to practice, I can easily pop up a list of tunes rated as needing practice plus how much I care about the song.
The way I tried this is simply by putting a code in the keyword area of each tune (such as cl55 for clarinet skill level 5 and how badly I want to play this track with clarinet equals 5 on a 1-5 scale for each). Then I searched on that code and saved it as a search filter.
Anybody doing anything like this and care to share any additional ideas or issues?
If this is new to you, you can learn to use saved search filters in the manual. It involves the floppy disk and file folder icons near the top right of the interface.
So far, I have only tried in on a couple songs and it was very efficient. And of course it is not necessary to edit each song individually, because any number of songs can be selected for editing and the keyword text then applied to all of them at one time.
Am I missing anything? Thanks for any ideas! (Or I hope this is helpful!)
