New user here. Sorry if this has been asked before.
I'm running Mobile Sheets within MacOs. Is there a programmatic way to move the Mobile Sheets window to the top of the Z order on the Mac, possibly with a MIDI message?
My use case is this... I'm running Gig Performer. When I change songs in Gig Performer's setlist, Mobile Sheets responds. I press a MIDI button, Gig Performer plays the current MIDI sequence, it goes into a "Performance Mode", and I start playing along. Part of Performance Mode is that some Meter plugins appear. If I've done things right Mobile Sheets is on top, and the meters peek out from behinds the lyrics. (The meters have other UI elements that make their windows a bit large.) If all goes well, Mobile Sheets is on top, and I nail the performance.
But if Gig Performer is on top of the Z-order, the cruft of the meter plugins obscures parts of Mobile Sheets. If critical lyrics or music is hidden, I might need to stop the song, fix it and start over. Not ideal.
If I can force Mobile Sheets to the top when I hit Play in Gig Performer, one more human error can be averted.
If it can't be done today, consider it to be a feature request.
