Track Browser
The track browser is your main Lexicon screen where you can view and edit all your tracks. Click any field twice to edit it.
Editing in more detail or with Recipes can be done by right clicking any track and choosing Edit.
Keyboard Controls
Tab: Jump to the next field of the current track
Cmd or Ctrl + Home: Jump to the first field of the current track
Cmd or Ctrl + End: Jump to the last field of the current track
Cmd or Ctrl + Arrow Up: Jump to the same field of the track above
Cmd or Ctrl + Arrow Down: Jump to the same field of the track below
Visible Columns
You can enable more visible columns by right clicking any column header.
Track Previews
You can show a waveform preview for each track. These previews are clickable and will play the track instantly, by default for 10 seconds. You can change this in the settings. Pressing the ESC button will also stop the preview.
Waveform previews are generated automatically when you play a track or when you analyze them with the "Waveform" checkbox enabled. If you change your waveform colors in the settings, you will notice your waveform previews do not change. You need to re-analyze them for those to update.
You can safely run the waveform analysis on your entire library, it will only add or update waveforms if they are missing or if you changed the colors.
Compatible Key
When a track is loaded in the music player, Lexicon will display harmonically compatible keys in the track browser with a white dot.
Searching
To search in the track browser, hover your mouse over one of the column headers, e.g. TITLE. This way you can search in every column, or multiple columns at a time.
You can use the special keyword None in any filter to find tracks that do not have a value for that field.
In number fields like BPM or Energy you have a few extra options:
| Operator | Example | Notes |
|---|---|---|
> |
> 150 |
Greater than |
< |
< 150 |
Smaller than |
>= |
>= 150 |
Greater than or equals |
<= |
<= 150 |
Smaller than or equals |
- |
120-150 |
Between |
! |
!150 |
Not |
Searching Keys
Keys are automatically converted when you search. For example, when you search for 4M, it will show tracks that have the key Am since these two keys are the same but in a different format.
Searching Dates
You can search in date fields (like Last Played) by using the YYYY-MM-DD format, for example: 2022-04-10.
You can also use the > and < operators here (see above table).
Searching Custom Tags
You can only search for full custom tag labels. Any partial match will not give any results. This is for performance reasons to make sure the track browser is always very fast.
Sorting
You can sort by any colum by clicking the drag handle when you hover over a column header. Clicking the sort arrow until it disappears will give you the original order of the playlist.
Tag Sorting
Tags are sorted by amount of tags that each track has.
