How to set loop points

[Rick Derer]

I understand you use shift-L but I suspect my cursor is not in the right place because nothing gets set when I use shift-L.

Would appreciate any guidance on this.

I do not use shift-L to set loop points, so I looked up the key assignment in preferences.  I found this, which seems to imply you need to have your selection points (From, Thru) set first.  Just a guess.  I use the Loop Module in the Control Bar and/or drag the loop start/loop end markers.

Yes. Make selection first - click and drag in track or on timeline, select a clip to have its time selected, or any other time selection method, and  then do a Shift-L. The selected time will be looped.

Or, after selecting times and track, click on Set Loop Points on the Control Bar.

My selection always returns to the beginning of the track. If I try moving it all it does is expand the loop for the whole song. I can't seem to get the loop to start where I want it to.

Strange, @Rick Derer

What about if you type in the start and finish in the Selection module in the control bar (you might have to display it by right-clicking in an empty area in the Control bar and choosing Modules>Select)  ?

That worked. Thanks. Now how do I delete loop markers(not just turn off)?

The Loop Module (help linked above) can set/alter loop points (much like the selection module does for selecting along timeline) and toggle loop on/off.
