"set range from loop", opposite of "set loop to range"

[talby]

Having already marked a loop by its In and Out markers, can this be made a selection range like I manually would have to draw a selected region for this range?
This would be the opposite of "set loop to range", something like "set range from loop".

Yes, although it seems to be something that the devs never imagined that anyone would want to do. There is info on how to do the opposite in the Javascript API and switching the variables works. I just tested it.

Tracktion.setPosition ('markIn', Tracktion.getPosition ('loopIn'));
Tracktion.setPosition ('markOut', Tracktion.getPosition ('loopOut'));

This is something I have been wanting to do and your question inspired me to research it. It's great for finding and extracting looping sections of audio. I made a macro and set it to be triggered by Alt+A. Battle of the Planets theme remix, here I come!

Thanks a lot!!
Now I can set the start of the region to be marked with the Loop IN marker, then go far away and search for the exact position where I want the end of my selected range and mark this with the Loop OUT marker. Having to drag the edge of a drawn region to a far distance, requiring zoom out to reach there but and zoom in to precisely set it, is almost impossible, at least too cumbersome.

How do you access information about the Javascript API, is there anywhere documentation about it? I missed this.

There is a button that opens a HTML file on your system with the API documentation.

Settings -> Keyboard Shortcuts -> Show API

Found the documentation.
Your macro is also working. Great!
Thanks once more!

You may want to add your macro to the sticky thread!
