peter I just figured out a nifty trick of repeating a song, you create one long loop of the whole song
I think you missed the new repeat song feature in this version (see changelog in the first post). So you don't need this workaround.
Yes i was aware of the repeat feature, but the loop player repeat feature is much more on stage user friendly.
Example
If you want to loop the now playing song with the old way , you need to swipe left to open a window select the repeat, now that is not possible to do with foot pedal, plus its a two finger operation and its a well hidden option not many people would realise its there to use, plus once you engage it, it is permanent so you have to manually go through a reverse process to disingage it as on stage you definitely would not want more than a single repeat of a song.
Plus your loop of song using this is not very accurate, its as accurate as how you finalized your songs in which case most of us have not created a perfect loop when loading a song.
But with the new loop system has got it all , once you edit a perfect loop of the whole song you have one easy touch of the screen to engage a single loop, you also have a single touch of a foot pedal to do this or if you want permanent loop its another touch or foot hit away so you can practice, you can change your mind on the run and disable the option very simply, when the song replays its a perfect transition from end to begining all simply done in your face just to use, now your song editing process can be a bit sluggish ,no problem the loop editor can fine tune it so you can perform perfect repeats of song.
That was the reason i wrote my previous observation so users realize they can use the loop system in numerous ways to achieve great things on stage without stress.
And thats the reason i was asking for a much quicker access to the loop editor as its going to be something you quickly want to jump to to create or tweak in a song, at the moment it is way to far away to get to quickly.
Forinstance if you are in portrait mode on iphone or even on ipad with lyrics only display, you need to TAP TO CLOSE hit the small INFO circle then thank god you shifted the next step hit the LOOP EDITOR , THATS 3 steps away , by then you would almost forget to why you entered the editor in the first place.
My wish would be when i come across a spot in a song using the player that i feel i need to use the loop editor i just want one action to open it and wherever the playhead is in the player the loop editor is cued up on the same spot, if it hapens to be within an existing loop then i expect this loop to be opened up in the double tap mode zoom point view ready for tweaking of that loop.
This then creates very fast insperational work flow it bypasses the computer torture menue system and allows the musician to be a creator not a slave to the software.
This is hard to do i know , this is what seperates the boys from the men, i know you have proven yourself many times over but im just pointing things out.
