Option for the text string to follow the current scene name

Post by Terry Payman »

This is a bump to an incidental request made previously :)

Perhaps interesting for debug or testing.

Also:
  • %MIDI_NOTE% and similar
    %{GLOBAL}%
    %SYS_TIME% would be nice to have (and it would be nice to have date/time in shaders)
    %LAST_TWEET%
    %SCENE_PATH% including the folders in which the current scene exists
    %SCENE_TIME% the number of seconds the scene has been active
Not sure how much I'd use these in the live output though - but I can see it might be useful for the audience to give feedback.
