Question about renoise.song().transport.playback_pos

Renoise Tool Development Beginners Lua API Sandbox

This part of my script should start playback from the beginning of the entire song, but it starts from the beginning of the current pattern:

  
 local t = renoise.song().transport  
 local startpos = t.playback_pos  
 local w=renoise.app().window  
 local follow_player=t.follow_player  
  
 if (t.playing == false) then  
 startpos.sequence = 1  
 startpos.line = 1  
 t.playback_pos = startpos  
 t:start(renoise.Transport.PLAYMODE_RESTART_PATTERN)  
 end

I wasn’t quite sure myself when I had this issue, but I ‘fixed’ it by using transport.edit_pos instead.

Thanks, it works now… though like you, i’m not quite sure why it doesn’t work with t.playback_pos :?

Simply try this instead:

renoise.song().transport:trigger_sequence(1)

Also works, and it seems like a much cleaner way to do it … thanks!
