Hi,

Had a good time with MuLab today! :)

Anyway, I noted something that might come in handy:

It seems ctrl-rewind (ff) and alt-rewind (ff) both move the Play cursor to the loop markers, added markers or start.

So as they do the same thing, I came up with the idea of changing the behavior for alt-rewind (and ff): go to nearest starting part on the selected track.

I think this makes sense. Let's say I worked at a piano part late in the song, at bar 104, and now want to work at one piano part earlier in the song, starting at bar 48. Alt-rewind steps back one piano part at a time, until it comes to bar 48 and I press Space to play.

(If there is no earlier part, I suppose it would go to zero.)

Note that if there is a selected part, this is also taken into account when doing rewind / forward.

Ah, yes of course! I forgot to mention that. Still, I believe this idea might have merit, and I don't think I've ever seen it in action in any DAW. At the same time, I can understand it's not on the top of the FR list. :wink:
