Shortcut to Play current Measure

Your idea

A shortcut that when executed plays just the current measure.

Problem to be solved

This would be particularly useful for users who work significantly by ear. A number of blind users have requested this. Trying to capture and memorise what you have just heard is easily lost if you have to press a number of other keys to replay the same bar multiple times including arrowing on and off the current note to make it play again without resuming playback from the paused position you ended on. This would allow a user to play the same bar repeatedly without moving on by multiple presses of the shortcut key. This would be helpful for students also learning to play a piece who want to hear a particular rhythm or notes played several times to hear how a particular chord combo sounds. This could be an extention of other suggestions to play a range selection with this shortcut selecting 1 bar and playing it.

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by locating the shortcut handling and playback selection code, then clarify how the current measure is identified and how repeated playback should interact with the paused position; done means the shortcut reliably replays only that measure, including for keyboard and screen-reader users.
