Get Current Track from iTunes LP

When you're playing an iTunes LP the Command-L shortcut to reveal/select the track in iTunes doesn't work. Unless.

Place the iTunes LP "booklet" in its own playlist (select it and press Shift-Command-N) and open that playlist in its own window by double-clicking the name of the playlist (or choose "Open in New Window" by Control-clicking the playlist name). Double-click the booklet to open the iTunes LP in the playlist window just opened. Now you have access to the main iTunes browser while the iTunes LP stuff is playing in the separate window.

This script will emulate the Command-L shortcut providing the iTunes LP is in a separate window:

tell application "iTunes"
	if player state is stopped then return
	set pID to (get current track's persistent ID)
	set mLib to (some playlist whose special kind is Music)
	reveal (some track of mLib whose persistent ID is pID)
end tell
