Select a track based on Name

I am trying to select a track based on Ableton Track name. Using Track selection I can find ways to specify the Track Number and use Relative.

Alternatively, I can figure out how to modify it directly in Python but then I feel like I lost the benefit of manageability with the Remotify UI. Maybe thats a separate question on how to manage that however. Preferably I wont have to do that, any advice here?

Thanks that was it – I was able to use Reaction and loops to action on a track whose name text matched a string. No integer + 1 needed as the action was able to use the Iteration Step.

For future reference for other reader:

New Mapping -> Reaction
Action Block Loop = Tracks (self.song().tracks)

Conditions: Track – Name exactly Matches
self.song().tracks[loop_number].name == “NameToMatch

Note: It defaults to tracks[0] on new condition and new action, make sure to use the grey finger pointing up icon -> Track Number -> Script -> Loop -> Loop – Iteration Number to get tracks[loop_number]
