– if you drag from the Grooves tab – the name will be the path to the groove, so you can retrace it
– if you drag from the song track – the name will be the song part you have assigned. Have you marked it as a Chorus, it will be named accordingly.
I’ve been an SD3 user now for awhile, and I confirm the above dragging from SD3 into Ableton Live.
It’s very cool that we can drag one section of a track and have the section name transfer, while dragging more than one section causes the track name to transfer. I like that alot!

One additional thing that I would find helpful is if Song Structure names and Track names could go most simply back and forth when desired.
For example, in the picture attached, I’ve dragged the Song Structure named ‘VC VC B VV 01e’ into a track, which is still named ‘Track 2’. You can see in the picture that the Song Structure remains highlighted, and the Track 2 tab remains selected.
So, I suggest that right-clicking on a specific Song Structure offer on option to send that name to become the currently highlighted track name. And vice-versa, right-clicking on a specific track name could offer on option to send that name to become the currently highlighted Song Structure name.
Along the same line, ‘Save Track as Structure’ could be joined by a second command ‘Save Track as Structure with Name’.
You can grok that I’m trying to work with a meaningful Song Structure naming convention, and I’d like to be able to propagate those names, both within SD3 and when exporting to the DAW, without having to retype them or explictly do a long error-prone edit-copy-paste dance.
Thank you for your consideration, and Happy Near Year!
