Description
Task description
Add two toggles to the playback settings that mimics behavior of MuseScore 3. They both helped speed up the process of messing with a section until you've written it properly. Also I like pressing space bar a lot to hear a section over and over until I get something I like.
- "Start From Beginning" - when you press play, the playback cursor jumps back to the loop start point. This allows you to work on a section quickly by just being able hammer the space bar, similar to how FL Studio works.
- "Loop Selected Range" - if you're selecting a region when you press play, it will automatically set the loop start and end points to that region. A better name might be "Automatically Update Loop Points" or something like that.
I might take a crack at programming it. I haven't worked on a large-scale community project before, so it might be interesting to take on.
