 ===== Code =====
+There is another file available which sends note on when the macro is pressed and note off when the macro is release, for notes 1~12, here: {{ :macros:example:midinotes.xml |}}
+<fs large>**Please note that these macros only work when they are MOVED onto another handle, i.e. a button or key, in another window. They do not work in the Show Library where they appear as unassigned, and they do not work when they are copied. You need to MOVE them.**</fs>
+<fs large>**Also this does not work when called from within a cuelist - it seems that macro calls from cuelist cues do not support the start/end syntax (Titan 16).**</fs>
