Thank you very much for the script. I only had some initial issues installing it because I could not find any manual within the package, and the information on Ableton's website (https://help.ableton.com/hc/en-us/articles/209072009-Installing-third-party-remote-scripts) does not really describe everything you need to obey. So, for any people struggeling on installation: I put the files from the package in my Ableton "User Library" (like described on the page linked above), but it is important that you create a folder with the name "SteinbergCC121" inside the "Remote Scripts" folder and put the files there. With other directory names Ableton 12.3 did not find it for me.

Hey Joe, check the manual within the download package. Page 13. Just copy the script files around accordingly and restart Ableton.
