Description
Task description
Some musical pieces - such as background music for video games or animation - needs to loop seamlessly with the end of the piece connecting seamlessly back to the start. Currently if you wish to do this with music exported from Musescore, you need to open it in Audacity, duplicate a chunk of the start, move it to the end, overlay it with the end of the trtack, and then fiddle with the starting and ending time of the clip.
It would be really useful if the export options provided a 'looping' checkbox so that this wrap around was done automatically for you when you export the clip.
