Sorry if this is a repost (earlier posting attempt did not seem to
show up)

Can anyone tell me why the SPL resets to the head of a region and all
notes are 'selected' if the region end point is reached before a
'stop' command is instituted at the end of a recording pass (causing
the matrix window to 'jump back' to its beginning)?

It's darned inconvenient, being that most editing and additional
recording occurs at the end of the region, not at its beginning.  One
has to continuallyde-select the notes and scroll forward after each
take.  I realizethe end point locator could pushed right to allow 
the stop command to come first, thus avoiding this behavior, but I
eventually catch up with the EPL when adding material and the whole
bit starts again.

Isn't there a way to make the window 'stay put' as a default?

And, while on the subject of the SPL, can anyone tell me if there isa
key shortcut for automatically resetting the SPL to the the prior
recordingstartpoint.  That would be a major labor saver for me.

Thanks,
 Michael

No.  No loop region is set up.  It is a simple record operation with"walking man" active in 
an open matrix window  —  if, in a recording pass, the recording SPL reaches the location 
of the existing end-of-region locator, and then "stop" is hit, the window resets to the 
region's beginning and all notes are selected for some reason.  If "stop" is hit before the 
recording SPL reaches that point, the SPL and window remain at the stop point and no 
notes are selected  (at least this seems to be what happens with me — let me know if this 
is unusual, please).
