Loop mode
When loop mode is activated, the playback restarts from first bar when playback reaches the end (the end of the song, or the end of the selection if Play selection was used).
Loop restart bar
You can define a loop restart bar which is different from the first bar.
This feature is useful for simple practice songs meant to be repeated endlessly (loop mode is activated), but you have an intro which must not be repeated -and you don't want to create a specific song structure.
To set the loop restart bar select a bar and use its popup menu. The loop restart measure is represented by 2 vertical bars on the left, as shown below.
Loop restart bar is ignored when using Play selection.
Click settings
The metronome and precount mode can be configured via the Click panel in the Options menu.
Precount mode can also be directly changed from the toolbar button using shift-click.
