Audio view: reset to last start position

Closed this issue · 1 comments

When editing a score and checking the result via listening to the midi output, it may be nice to be able to mark a start position and return to it via the existing reset button or via a new button.
Having to navigate the same position in a piece over and over again is frustrating.

Without an additional button, I could imagine the following behaviour:

  • Whenever the "time" is explicitly set by the user, this position is marked as start position.
  • If the reset button is hit and the current position is not the stored start position, we jump to the stored position
  • If the reset button is hit and the current position equals the stored start position, we jump to the beginning of the piece

(In the best case, the button icon and tooltip change accordingly)

Further, if the playback has ended, the user should not have to press reset. Automatically jumping back to the beginning/marked position would better. (The sequencer is already set to position 0, but the slider is not updated)

Closed by #58.
The user can explicitly set a mark and reset the position to this mark.
