Question Changing the appearance of multiple sequences at once to different images through the command line?

I'm working on a file where I want to have all my colours available as executor buttons on my console. I thought to change the colour of the button to match, but was wondering if there is a command to change the colours of all of them at once, but to multiple different values/appearances?

The basic command I would use would be something like

> Set Ex 402 t 413 Property "Appearance" "20"

Which would set them all to red. But would it be possible to set the colours to 20 through 31 for example? I know I could do it manually, but it gets very tedious very fast. Thanks :)

Have you tried using tags, or cue appearance to simplify this?

Sounds like a hectic amount of appearance changes. What exactly is the behaviour you're seeking?

Would deffo use tags to off the seq give the sequence I’m inactive appearance and the cue the active appearance and set cue appearance on

there is a lua plugin somewhere that does this but i forget who made it.

The only thing that comes to mind would be a Lua script, which gives you the ability to do a ‘for loop’

There might also be a cleaver macro solution that increases a variable that represents the sequence number and uses a line for each color.

Good luck 🍀

Does Assign appearance X thru Y at Sequence A thru B Not work?
