You are right, Andy! especially since some users might not even install the Insert button Sorry Stephan! I read through these mails and did not see the problem myself... unfortunately I cannot fix this for the EDP, but I try for its emulation ;-) If we make ending with Record rounded, we will loose an option though: Now you can set to TimeCopy and if you spontaneously want to add a loop with a different timing, just end that one with Record, isn't that interesting?
