Controlling Playback
Now time is already at the start of the loop, Rewind takes you to the
beginning of the project. From then on, Rewind switches back and forth
between the loop start time and the start of measure 1.
To Set Up a Playback Loop
1. Set the loop start and end times in one of the following ways:
• Drag the mouse between two points in the Time Ruler of the Track
view, Staff, or Piano Roll view to select a range of times, then click
in the Loop/Auto Shuttle toolbar to copy the selection time to
the loop time.
• Click between two markers in the Track, Staff, or Piano Roll view to
select a range of times, then click in the Loop/Auto Shuttle
toolbar to copy the selection time to the loop time.
• Type the loop start and end times directly into the toolbar.
• Select a range of times, then right-click in the Time Ruler and
choose Set Loop Points (this method makes the second option
unnecessary).
Looping is automatically turned on when you use the Set Loop to Selection
command.

Loop/Auto Shuttle dialog box.
2. Check the options you want to use.
