Keeping on top of things

Once you have a significant number of regions in your map, you'll need to start thinking about how to keep them organized. Fortuantely, SoundBounds comes with quite a few querying tools to help you keep track of things. First and foremost there's /sb current-region, which will tell you which region you're currently hearing music from (note that this readout will change after the fader ends when you move to a new region). Beyond that, there are three major query commands: info, list, and search.

Info commands

Info commands are used to retrieve information on a region, song or group that you already know the name of. The region-info command can be run on its own for a general overview, but also has two subcommands of its own: /sb info region <name> <playlist|volumes>. These are used to browse a regions' playlist or volume list, respectively.

List commands

The list commands can be used to list every region or song that exists (in the case of regions, this is world-specific). Not much else to it.

Search commands

Search commands allow you to filter the global region/song lists by particular criteria. You can search for regions by their proximity to you in physical space or by whether they contain a particular song. Likewise, you can search for songs by whether they contain a particular tag.
