I saw a video where a guy teat his endings and he rebuilds the song and then immediately seems to play the last few bars of the last chorus.

How does one do that?

When I try by clicking on some bar and pressing play, song always does the first chorus.
??

Bernt

On the "play" menu there is a choice "play special" and there you can choose to play from bar # or play from current position, or play from current position no regeneration


My wife asked if I had seen the dog bowl. I told her I didn't even know he could.

You can also right-click. You will see choices to play starting at that bar but in different choruses.

Note that there may be silence while the song regenerates.

And also...

Click on this bar. This monitors the playback location. I find it easier to use this in Standard View (press CTRL+T to toggle from Full Screen View to Standard View and back). In standard view, the bar is much larger and it's easier to see each chorus.

Hello, I am still struggling with this.

Clicking left or right on the play or play+ buttons has the same effect in that they play/regenerate.
Clicking in the progress bar is far too small and not enough resolution to get to the right bar.

I would like to play from bar 80 in the song as per attached screen.

Bernt

Hi Berntd.

Try this...

1) Press CTRL+T to switch to Standard View (CTRL+T will also toggle you back to full-screen view).

2) Click on the "Play from bar" button that I've labelled #1 on the image below.

3) Follow numbers 2 and 3 on the image.

Regards,
Noel

Two things:

1: If the chord chart is too small, you can expand the cell size by adjusting the rows (Display Options). See capture 1.

2: I find clicking on Bar 80 works as per screen capture 2 below, but there will be a short delay presumably because the system must seek to that bar before playback can start, even if the song has been previously generated.

Ok, that last one works without switching to the standard screen.
Thanks.

Excellent. Good news. You might consider opening your original post and marking it as Resolved. There's a button for that, and this can assist others in the future.
