6.6 The Arrangement Loop
- Ableton/Live/UI/Control Bar/Toggle/Arrangement Loop repeats part of the Arrangement. With nothing selected, the Ableton/Live/UI/Arrangement View/Marker/Loop Brace spans the whole Arrangement.
- Ableton/Live/UI/Control Bar/Field/Loop Start and Ableton/Live/UI/Control Bar/Field/Loop Length set it numerically.
- Edit → Loop Selection,
Cmd+L(Mac) /Ctrl+L(Win), turns the loop on around the time selection, or toggles it when clips or time are selected. - Left and right arrows nudge the brace by the grid; up and down shift it by its own length. With
Cmd(Mac) /Ctrl(Win), left and right shorten or lengthen it by the grid, and up and down halve or double it. - Drag the brace's edges to change its ends, or its bar to move it.
- Set Song Start Time Here in the brace's context menu starts playback at the loop start instead of the insert marker or selection.
