Topic: "macro_record" & "macro_play" commands
Anyone know what these commands do & how they work?

They don't work, they're an abandoned project.
I tested ages ago and if you jump thru a lot of hoops and work around the bugs you get something almost works, but not really.

Ok fair enough.

I was hoping it was something akin to Excel's macro record but hey ho.

I revisited the old post and tried some different stuff as a 7 year older idiot.

The timing of the thing is off, too fast.
The playback is song position or > than where it was recorded.
I figured out one of the bugs

Not that I recommend it but 3 buttons

var macro 0 ? macro_record "cheese" :

set macro 1 & macro_play "cheese"

set macro 0

record
press first button, do some stuff you want to record, press first button again
playback
just be beyond the position in the track you recorded and press button 2 [press earlier and you'll have to wait]

rerecord, press 3rd button before doing the record procedure
[3rd button/ the use of a var, works around one earlier issue]

If you're interested in making fx macros I'm currently on with that idea now done in another way here is that experiment

Macro was interesting to record a scratch for example. And then you can play it again.
