Create a simple two-bar loop. Then do a Seq Edit, and extend the 2 bars by another 2 bars by making a copy. You should have 4 bars.

Hit play and watch the counter - at the 3rd bar, the counter resets back to 001.00.00, instead of 003.00.00.

I haven't used this feature a lot, but is this a bug?

I am guessing that you have loop turned on and didn't set it to include the 2 new bars you added.

That was it exactly - thanks for the pointer Jahrome!

Question: why does it work like this? Under what circumstances would you want this? That is, you create a 4 bar loop, but after every 2 bars (or depending on what you set the loop to) the counter resets to 01.00.00 -- seems odd.

You can create a very long sequence, but do it a section at a time.
