Lua: Renoise.song().tracks[].members[].track_Index

There seems to be no way to get what track indexes are part of a group, the same way track index in .group_parent is not available.

These issues could perhaps both be resolved by adding:

renoise.song().tracks[]....track_index  

(Unless I’m missing some fundamental lua trick)

EDIT: Perhaps another option would be to add a renoise.song().groups structure. That approach may be beneficial coding wise in many cases.

I’m running into the same thing updating my Push Back tool. When the function is called from a group track I will have to

• iterate over every track to the left of current track (type group)
• go through it’s group_parent, possibly that one’s group_parent, etc. routing

to get the track indexes of subtracks (to be able to modify their delay_column data in this case).
With the current state I’m just gonna not complete the v1.0 of the tool, I might code it, but I’m not confident it’s gonna run properly on every sys with the turn of a dial you know? and it’s just double double inefficient code…
I would really like to know if there’s a better way.
