Parent/Child Track with ReorderSelectedTracks

[manchuwook]

Given:

import argparse
import sys
import logging
import random
import math
import reapy
from colors import randColorByHue
from reapy import reascript_api as RPR


def makeTracks(project):
    tracks = ['Chords - Scratch', 'Chords', 'Arpeggio', 'Bass', 'Sub', 'Pad',
              'Lead', 'FX1', 'FX2', 'FX3', 'Rhythmic', 'Percussion', 'Harmony', 'Melody']
    tracks.reverse()
    for track in tracks:
        t = project.add_track(name=track)
        t.color = randColorByHue('red')
        if track == 'Melody':
            t.add_fx(name='Captain Melody')
        if track == 'Bass':
            t.add_fx(name='Captain Deep')
        if track == 'Arpeggio':
            t.add_fx(name='ChordPotion')
            t.add_fx(name='ReaSynth')
        if track == 'Chords - Scratch':
            t.add_fx(name='Captain Chords')
            t.add_send(destination=project.tracks['Chords'])
            t.add_send(destination=project.tracks['Arpeggio'])
    for track in project.tracks:
        if track.name == 'Chords - Scratch':
            track.select()
            # Fetch the index for scratch
            RPR.ReorderSelectedTracks(1, 1)

ReorderSelectedTracks doesn't seem to make the track 'Chords - Scratch' a child of parent track 'Chords'

Is there some kind of magic I am missing, or is this not implemented yet?

It definitely works within just line:

RPR.ReorderSelectedTracks(1, 1)

So, only thing you need is

# Fetch the index for scratch

Which can be made by:

for idx, track in enumerate(project.tracks):
    if track.name == 'Chords - Scratch':
        track.select()
        RPR.ReorderSelectedTracks(idx, 1)

Which, still, works quite fine within my project and my track name

But this, occasionally, showed that API is needed Track.index property, which is included in #77
