Not really a bug but a need to fix a function that is not correct in the Main "loop" functions.

Problem - in 'Loop' of the main screen, when changing the end of loop bar number: if the number is less than the current end bar number, the sequence 'jumps' immediately to the new bar number. this loses the beat of the tempo and sounds like a reset of the sequencer.

Fix - i think that the loop should jump to the new bar number at the end of that bar, so it remains in 'sync' with the beat of the sequence. Or it could be a setting in the 'Window' button of the Loop parameter, so the user can choose the behaviour to be either immediate or at the end of the bar (similar to the 'next sequence' options)

I swear I already posted a response to this ...... ah I see a double post there arabee!!
"I like it that way so I do not have to wait for it to restart. But do know what you mean. I see this behaviour but if your are hardly ever going to do this while live playing and if you do want to do this live, you would benefit more from using changes of sequences which has the exact behaviour choices you are describing. So I would ask why you do not use sequences made before hand? You can just a copy a sequence set with different loop lengths and swap away live and have that choice of sudden change or waits till end of sequence. See I do it that way, and only change loop length as I work on a sequence for a song. Just saying is all, not hating on it, just seems to make more sense to use sequences that way. Would only take a few seconds to do to. i do it to try compositional ideas, say looping last bar. Just copy sequence and set loop of the copy to just last bar and play it after first sequence, so gives impression you are holding that bar for longer."

So yeah why not use sequences this way ? to me it seems like the best solution is you just need to set up sequences and swap them suddenly or after sequence plays to the end.
