thanks Andrew,

Ok, So I am not losing my mind... ;-) good to hear that the new playback option was just added - and thanks for helping make that happen. Had you mentioned in the notes on the new build(?)...maybe I just missed it.

Yes, a hot key to initiate loop function might be better but ideally whether or not a hot key is set up, once the loop function was enabled with the set number of bars, that the spacebar would then stop and start playback of those selected bars on a continued basis until when deciding to stop the loop function (after a few stops and starts with "spacebar") , that that hot key (or a different hot key) would then take one out of the loop function. Make sense..?
