Please can we have progress by pedal? Would be SO useful!

What I mean is to have a song progress to the next bar each time when a pedal is pressed if the pedal is not pressed then the song would repeat the previous n bars (default 1 bar).

Why?

Every day I use BIAB for improvisation and covering set changes. When I have a flow going on a few bars, repeating, I want to just flow into the next portion - without stopping. This makes the whole session more musical. In a band, you can vibe on a few changes in an intro and then when you randomly decide, move to the verse you can. Lots of other things would also be possible - whole songs maybe, stops too.
The loop function has badly needed a re-design. It needs to be more solid, leaning across a guitar in a dark room to find F10 is not always an accurate process and it's far too easy to lose the loop. I think adding a foot-pedal command would transform things for the better. Let's take the thinking about the loop function out of the loop - re-imagine it. Change it for the better.

I don't play keyboard or use the Conductor but I'm just pointing out that many of the functions you would like to have available are included in BIAB in the Conductor program when it's controlled by a midi Keyboard.
