The “Play within loop” command allows you to quickly play a looped section. Highlight the range of bars to loop
on the Chordsheet, press NUMPAD 2 to open the Loop Section Settings dialog, and click the [Play within loop]
button.
To enter settings manually in this dialog, you start by choosing either “Loop a Single Screen of Notation” or “Loop
Range of Bars.” If you want the custom range of bars, then enter the starting “From Bar” number, the “Chorus #,”
and the “# bars” for the length of the looped section. You can then play the song with the [Play within loop] button
and then [Close] the dialog.
Presets are available to set the loop points to Intro, First / Middle /Last
Choruses, Ending, or All. As the different buttons are selected you will see
the “Loop Range of Bars” settings update. Hot keys are also available for
these, look in the Play menu under the Looping submenu.
