Play & Loop selection ?

@vV

Might this tool get more closer to what you need?
Transition Loop

Thanks for the link Vv.

So, now, it leads me to several remarks.

-It seems that I have a problem with the file the post pointed out (*.xnrx). I can download it, but once downloaded, it creates an instability into my system: right-clicking on it makes windows explorer crashes (under Windows 8, 64 bits). I tried to google about this issue, and the result is that such a bug would eventually be related with the file icon, but I don’t know if it is actually the case.

-As I can’t right-click the .xnrx file, I was not able to dezip it and modify the error present in the lua file (some extra parenthesis you pointed out in the thread above).

-Now, excepted those issues, it seems that the function is pretty close to what I was refering. I’m new to Lua, but was thinking that the SDK could allow that too:

1)Get the line beginning and the line ending of the selection  
2)Set a hotkey to play the current selection at the range set by the selection.  

But apparently, it seems to be a little bit more complicated as explained by the post of Danoise a bit after:

Transition Loop

Something I have missed in trackers since 1995 is the ability to loop the transition between two patterns. Like the last 16 lines of pattern 1 and first 16 lines of pattern 2. For this reason the transitions often get a lot less love than they deserve. Maybe we could create some sort of feature that lets you loop transitions. Or even better create a temporary “virtual pattern” which scopes arbitrary selection from sequential patterns, so you could pay a better attention to the transitions.

That said, yes, it is getting closer.
