Instead of slavishly bringing the song back to the first chorus, when hitting the loop button (big one) next to replay, I think it would be more intuitive it it repeated the selected section from the chorus that was actually playing before the button was hit.
At present if you are working in chorus 3 and you want to do a little practice on say bar 10-12 of this chorus hitting this large button brings you back to chorus 1. So after this you have to fiddle around to get back to where you were.,.

This button should repeat the chorus that you are in I say

PS I know there is the LoopSec alternative but this also is a few clicks to get right, I want intuitiveness and speed of selection.

Isn't that what the conductor feature is for to pick and chose the chorus you want repeated?

Hmmm interesting thought for sure. But what is someone want to go all the way back to loop it all.

Hi 00 - Try this - they made this feature just for you. Right click on measure 10 and select "Play from bar 10 Chorus #3". Pretty direct.

Does that do it for you?

HI Kelso this shortcut is useful, but it does not loop. Youy can loop using the tiny loop sec thning but its a fiddle and you can loose concentration setting it up.

Rob: Yes you can do it other ways what I am saying is that if oyu just grab and loop it should be the chorus that you are playing not the first chorsu all the time.

Most of the time you want ot loop the bit you are playing, if you want to loop some other chorus there are plenty of ways, but Ia quikcv grab and loop shoud be the chorsu you are playing
