A few ideas regarding loop points. 

- When working with a project,  in the pattern view, I think it would be useful to also have a "end" or "terminate"  loop point, like in the instrument volume enveloppes. Sometimes your song layout is mostly completed but you have some leftover patterns that you do not necessarily want to delete yet. I like to put them at the end of the song into some kind of reserve. Then you may want to play the song for a while just to get the ideas flowing. Sometimes I would press play and let it run while i do something else like folding my laundry.  Right now  the song will also go through the reserve before looping. Which is not desirable in the context I just described.  Maybe the end loop point could be added or removed with L-right click. Which should not interfere with the current interface

- When editing instruments, I find it a bit awkward to remove loop points. Unless I am missing something, you basically need to slide the enveloppe duration back and forth to delete the points. This is a rather minor thing and you can get used to it but I am pretty sure most new users would find this weird and not intuitive ( like I did ). Having the ability to delete loop points with L-click like in the pattern view would give the interface a more unified feel.

- That's a good idea for the loop point thing. But this mean everything on the "right" of the "endpoint" will never ever play right? Its just a temporary storage area?

- Just slide them offscreen (left or right) they will go away. Right click to delete would be nice, but i unfortunately already mapped the release point to right click. Not exactly consistent. Need to think about this.
