    Default Quickly restarting a looped section

    If you select a number of bars of the chart to repeat, then start, then (as I often do) mess up you have to wait till you get back to the beginning of your selection to start again. That, or, you can stop, select the section again and start again. Wouldn't it be great though if there was a button to start from the beginning of your selected section again? In previous versions you could do this by changing the tempo by 1bpm and that forced the section to start from the beginning. Now with the latest updates you can change the tempo and iReal B just carries on with the new tempo. When you select a section to repeat the number displaying the repeats (3x, 4x, etc) changes to a loop symbol. Currently this does nothing if pressed and it would be perfect to use that to start the marked section again.
    Thanks in advance for giving this idea consideration as it is quite frustrating at times having to stop, remark a section to repeat and starting again.

    That would be a convenient feature, thanks for starting the discussion.

    But....why do you "have to wait" for the beginning to start again?
    When playing live, it's really important to have developed the skills to deal with musical hiccups without letting your train get derailed. Stopping (and calling attention to mistakes) is a bad habit.

    When you are having trouble it's probably good to slow the tempo until it's easily playable and set the practice mode to very gradually increase the speed.

    Hi Bob
    This isn't for when playing live which, as you mentioned, you wouldn't want to stop in that case. This is for when practicing tricky sections of songs. What I do is highlight the section I'm trying to improve and then go round it a few times.
