Is this possible (perhaps a script?)
I have my pads mirrored on my software on my Lemur layout
the software have pages to scroll though the effects listing
Ive made containers for each of the pages, but the software uses the same # on each page
ie, Page 1, effect(pad) 3 is cc#21
bust so isnt
Page 3, Effect (pad) 3
so, to engage this effect on page 3 (tab 3 on the lemur) I have to map a custom button to Next Page (and previous page as well)
basically I have to hit the container tab (to show me page 3 on lemur)
then press the "next page" button to bring up page 3 in the software
if you coud in fact map the tabs, when u click on it to show you page 2/3 in lemur
ir would also change the soft ware to page 2/3
make sense?
is it possible?

What is x where x = "yoursoftware"?
This helps people to visualise what you mean.

Insert pads in your project and make them change your tabs with scripting - then hide the container tab buttons. The added pads are way more easier to control - and you can map them to your software page selection too. Im not in my PC right now but if I recall correctly selecttab(container,tabindex) is the script syntax you are looking for.

Ahh right - got it now.
This part: "bust so isnt" and the mention of "pads" in the software and Lemur
. . . threw me (late nights).
Softcore has the answer.
To explain a bit further - he's saying you should "skin" / hide the tabs using pads - and these pads can select the tabs you want in Lemur AND map to your software interface at the same time.

good idea! I usually do this with several containers and show/hide commands. But next time I'll try your approach.

Is it possible to do this using a menu ?

Ok here are two examples.....
First....Switches change the tabs of a container - these can be mapped so that changing a tab can also midi cntrol something in your software controlled by Lemur
Secondly, the same thing accomplished with a menu - again you can midi map the menu to control something in your software, besides changing the tabs
