Question

To change from one opened song to another you have to search for it in the menu.  There should be  tabs on top to jump with one click from one song to another.  Also, you could  see with one look, how many and which songs are opened .  And it should be possible to close the song and the tab with one click. At the moment it is far too complicated.
Can I copy parts from one song to another? It should be as easy as possible.

Answer 1

"To change from one opened song to another you have to search for it in the menu." 

Quick Switch

In Studio One Professional, you can have multiple Songs and Projects open simultaneously and can switch between them quickly. The fastest way to switch between any open Song or Project, as well as the Start page, is to press [Ctrl]+[Tab] and continue to hold [Ctrl] on the keyboard. This displays a pop-up list of all open documents.

While holding [Ctrl], press [Tab] to cycle through the open documents. Release [Ctrl] when the desired document is selected. Now, you can view that document.

Answer 2

Hey there,

The project/song buttons on top right are pretty great to quickly  switch between multiple openened tracks or project...
You can close your actual song tab with the shortcut that you wan't , just assign it to "Close" option in the category "Files" in the keybindings option tab ;)

For copy/pasting from a track to an other, You actually can with most of the stuff (midi/audio regions; markers, automations...) just takes a ctrl+c ctrl+v :)

Answer 3

The answers here are ways of working around poor UI. Collectively, we've already figured this out: Documents Tabs.

Yes, some apps like to do their own thing but whenever you have to search for basic UI interactions like switching between open documents, that's a user experience fail. The way you can't drag the time thumb in S1 is another example and there are others.

There's plenty of things to search and learn so there's no need to waste time on basic, well-established UX found in most apps across most industries. It's 2024, we can do better - right?

Just implement document tabs and move on.
