Repeat Playback from Last Position: Summary Request

• May 17, 2025 - 04:12

As of today, 2025-05-17, there are numerous threads on musescore over several years about the lack of a standard shortcut or method that will easily repeat playback from a chosen point - see below. I really want this feature and I can see that many others do too. It seems likely to be an easy fix leading to lots of gratification. I wish I had the skills, but I don't. Can someone please do it?! Much gratitude in advance!

- https://musescore.org/en/node/330219 - I participated in this one, and Marc Sabatella (Mar 11, 2022) mentions an outstanding request for this feature. I also document the inconsistency of loop playback to initiate playback at the same point.

I suspect that if it was such an easy fix that it would have been done long ago. In the meantime, here is something to think about.
Pick a place and start playback. When you are done, don't stop. Click the left mouse button. Playback will restart from the chosen place.
Not great for every situation, for sure.
