  1. Make Lefty Flip a quick toggle option on the "Ready" screen. As it stands, if you're hosting for people and they're switching instruments, you need to back out, go to the profile screen (need to use K&M on that screen), then change the default for that profile. Less intuitive than it should be imo.
  2. The "Playable" and instrument-specific filters should be a separate selection from the Artist, Album, Song, ect. sort options. Should be able to filter out unsupported songs for your instruments AND layout the list the way you want.
  3. Scrolling should automatically skip the section headers (i.e. artist name), can really slow things down.
  4. Is the empty space at the top of the list and to the side of the metadata column necessary? The column at least could be moved all the way to the right and would allow for longer song names before cutoff. (See screenshot)
  5. Speaking of long song names, I've sure this has been mentioned before but horizontally scrolling song names would be nice when highlighted (rather than the ellipses).
  6. And finally, the non-clickable "All Songs" row could be removed (less scrolling) and the # of songs could be moved to the header (see screenshot).

Sorry for the yap session, but I think all of these changes would make the experience better for the end user.

with the new music library UI is coming soon (hopefully), these issues should be addressed. and by that i mean, i don't know if they are addressed yet, but they should be. i myself have had some ui complaints that iwas meaning to post but haven't yet

#

although i think the "skipping section headers" thing might not be implemented yet, cause i think the sections were supposed to be collapsible

#

i don't remember exactly

New music library? Is that the thing seen in those old preview builds that resembles the RB4 song select screen?

Yoooo

#

Is the black circle inside the colour thing just aesthetics or will something go inside it like in RB4?

idk you'll have to ask on #artists-chat

thanks for suggestions, like Iris said some of these should be addressed if i manage to get this merged. empty space to the right is gone, im still trying to figure out how to get rid of the empty space on the top and bottom without breaking everything lol.
and yeah like Kadu designed it the buttons in the future should have the keybinds in there (1-5 for keyboard? or like ABXY for an xbox controller etc) but i don't think ill get to it in this pass
