Pressing F8 or clicking on an instrument within the mixer brings out the multiriff screen. It works fine as described in the corresponding new video and different takes are recorded...
I only have a problem that nobody seems to have up to now: when playing the takes, (using either the automatical or the manual playing) BiaB plays the whole song up to its end and there is no possibility (or I dont see any) to stop after the 4 or 8 or whatever bars that have been selected.
I cannot do anything, BiaB is "blocked", does not take any command, the screen has disapeared and it just plays the song complete. At this point, the screen comes back and everything works again...
Of course the process is a bit long to be repeated for every new suggestion by BiaB.
Have I overseen something, or checked a "wrong" button somewhere?
Thanks for your hints

It should only play one bar before your riff location.
There is a Stop button by the play button.

My fast workflow is as follows:

1) render a rift with autoplay on and listen as you go.
2) render a second third 4th etc. and listen to all in successive takes without stopping the system will automatically go back to a bar before.
3) hit stop and go back using the previous and next buttons to audition them again picking the best one or if there is an obvious candidate then just hitting apply.
4) reset the bar counter to the next section that you want to develop a Riff for and repeat the process.

Note there has been a request to add forward and backward navigation so that you can easily go at any part of the song to start your auditioning of what you've done so far.

I usually work in rifts that have two bars or four bars.

OK, I am still working on it... Actually, the "problem" is that when I press play (as I wrote manually or automatically) the screen, where I could press stop, just vanishes.
I have just seen now, that sometimes, I can find it "behind" the BiaB screen, but sometimes not.
I think it would be better that the Multiriff screen "sticks" where it belongs... And in case it does by most of you users, how can I change this (strange) behaviour???
