Feature Request: allow both old and new way of looping
With the recent changes in the beta version which allows the exclusive looping of selected staff, the hidden staffs no longer play. There is no way to play all the staffs of a section, if any are hidden, at least to my knowledge. I would like to be able to do both: to select individual staffs to loop and to include hidden staffs in the loop. How do other people feel about this change in looping behavior. Perhaps, there needs to be two options when selecting the loop button much like how some audio players will change the loop icon to different states (e.g., loop song, loop playlist, etc).
Comments
The current (3.0.5) method needs to be unchanged. There needs to be a different way to limit playback. Perhaps a new button could be added to the playback toolbar and/or the play panel.
Work Around: By clicking on a staff with the ctrl button held, the whole measure can be selected, including hidden staffs. Shift clicking on a different measure will then extend the first selected measure to the new one. It's awkward, but it works.
