Set List Verification

Cantabile now supports verifying set lists.

This is an important addition since it’s possible to create some very complex configurations and without a decent mechanism to check that everything that’s required is available it becomes very easy to overlook a missing media file, rack or plugin — especially when setting up a new machine or trying to share configurations across multiple machines.

To verify a set list, make sure its loaded into Cantabile and choose the “Verify Set List” command from the Tools menu. Cantabile will run through everything in the set list and generate a HTML report that highlights any problems.

The errors are presented in a heirarchy that should make it easy to refer back to the location of the error and fix it. Each node in the report can be clicked to expand/collapse it:

The following is a summary of the things it checks:

• All song and rack files can be found and loaded
• All enabled routes are properly connected
• All referenced media files exist
• All plugin are known and exist on disk
• All racks referenced by a song have the selected state
• All enabled binding source and target objects exist
• All enabled trigger targets exist
• All of the above on all states is also correct.

This is available now in build 3170 and later.
