Description Peter Sampson 2017-08-04 09:34:24 UTC

For Note Tracks pressing Shift+Space does not invoke the loop play.

It shows in the prefs as the shortcut properly and it works with audio tracks.

The shortcut C for Play cut preview - and B for Play to selection both work fine.

The shortcut Shift+Space works fine on audio tracks.

Happens on Windows as well as Mac - so assume All.

Testing on macOS 3302455 05Aug17

Tests oyt fine now with Shift+Space to initiate Loop Play on Mac.  Prsesing Shift+Space while Loop play is in progress stips lopp paying from where it currently is and restarts at the beginning of the selection (expected behavior).
