[Suggestion] MesureNames in measures

Post by LGP123 »

I wanted to suggest something that could certainly help the skins to be a bit lighter and more easy to understand.
It would use the MeasureName[i]N[/i] and the %1 (like in string meters) or something like this but inside the Formula= or String= or anything like this in the measures or maybe inside the Bangs (but i think it can maybe cause some troubles, idk) that would do the same thing that is in the string meters (replace the %1 with a measure variable). It could maybe has something like %0 to do the same thing of "[#CURRENTSECTION#]".

Of course, all of these would be dynamic.

I dont know if all of this is possible but i'm waiting for the feedbacks :)

How would you perform modulus math (like 10%4=2) in a formula if you were using MeasureNameN for dynamic variables?
Also, what is wrong with the current method of using Section Variables for values in formulas?
