This works in the same way as in the music editor (CTRL-L and SHIFT cursors). ==== Loop Position ==== A song can also continue indefinitely by setting a 'loop position'. With this! means that when the load position is reached, the song will jump back to the loop position, which is indicated at the bottom of the screen.

The latter is useful during composing. ==== Stopping from playing as ==== During the music playback, only the space bar, the [ESC] and the [STOP] keys work. The space bar and the [ESC] have the same function, they stop the music and go back to the selected position. before starting playback. The?? [STOP] key is very useful for debugging.
