Hi

I used to be able to set the cursor to, say, start of bar 5 for instance and playback would start from there. Now what ever I do it always starts at bar 1. I have noticed that I now have a green marker (which I do not recall seeing before) and that I can change the start position by moving that which is more effort than just clicking at the point I want to start from. So any ideas how I get back to just moving the cursor to where I want to start from and get rid of the green marker? I have looked at the manuals and googled but nothing seems to tell me what to do. I know this probably going to be something obvious but its really starting to bug me now.

Perhaps this will help:

Under Transport -> Options select "Return to Start on Stop"

Now when you stop the song it will go back to where you previously started the song.

Thanks for replying, I did see that but its not really what I was looking for but I appreciate you replying. Funny thing is I was working on another song and that is behaving exactly as I want, i.e I move the cursor to where I want to start from , left-click in an empty space which puts a vertical line at that point and thats where playback starts from. There is also no little green marker, see attached image of what I am talking about, so I guess what I need to do is get rid of the green marker but nothing I do does that, I also have no idea how it got there in the first place.

1. Right click on the transport area and Un Check = Enable Play Start Marker

2. Preferences/Adv/Editing- Check the box = Locate When Clicked in Empty Space

That was it, thanks very much. I knew it must something obvious like that but I just couldnt see it. Guess I must have checked 'Enable Play Start Marker' without realising at some point.

Thanks again for that.
