Jas, good stuff this - I was checking out your other Parts 1 - 4. Very useful. I'm still news to MS - one question, when you jump about to different parts, is there a way (or did I missit?) of effectively hitting a button to "queue up" the next marker to go to ** but only to jump at the end of the current section** if you see what I mean.

Hey Randall, thanks!

That's a great idea but no, there's no direct way of doing that however...

...there is a possible workaround and that is through creating another Playback track (even if it's using the same audio file) and a set of screen controls for the second one...let's call it Marker Track 2. That way you could be playing adn hearing Marker Track 1, and while that's playing, you could be cuing up Marker Track 2...kinda like a DJ using two turntables. I't's very do-able.

is there a possibility to repeat the part which is in between one marker. ...it would be a kind of looping which could be controlled manually. so for example the "Verse 1" Marker could be repeated. (or looped... however you wanna call that)

is it possible to realize that with Mainstage 2?

[JasTheMusicman]

@headrc Yeah, good question - and I've looked for that myself but can't seem to find a way to do it. I think this is an essential feature in the next version of Mainstage. Will take another look to see if I can figure out a way.
