Hey guys, I'm creating a workflow that will search a (guitar tab database) website for the current song you are listening to iTunes. Unfortunately, I am very amateur with scripts. I hadn't really looked at one until today! I have a script that copies the song name and artist to my clipboard (using the line "set the clipboard to (nom & art)") however, I was wondering how you can get it instead to set "nom & art" to the query for the next step of the workflow? I know this is incredibly amateur, but thanks in advance for the help! Ned
