76 Arrangement View
If you import a MIDI file (page 49) into the Arrangement, you’ll be given an option to import
any time signature information that was saved with the file. If you choose to do this, Live will au-
tomatically create time signature markers in the correct places. This makes it very easy to work
with complex music created in other sequencer or notation software.
6.5 The Arrangement Loop
The Control Bar’s Loop Switch.
For Live to repeatedly play a section of the Arrangement, activate the Arrangement loop by
clicking on the Control Bar’s Loop switch.
The Loop Start Fields (Left) and the Loop Length Fields (Right).
You can set loop length numerically using the Control Bar fields: The left-hand set of fields deter-
mines the loop start position, while the right-hand set determines loop length.
The Edit menu’s Loop Selection command accomplishes all of the above at once: It turns the Ar-
rangement loop on and sets the Arrangement loop brace to whatever timespan is selected in the
Arrangement.
