very nice I don`t go back to v3!

I have to find how to let repeat in edit mode for example bar 3 

is this done in page 9 with hold?

On Page 9 the knobs above the "bar" LEDs serve the same purpose as in 
playlist edit (transpose, repeat).

yes I found out that, but what I mean is, when I want to edit bar 3 in 
a 4 bar track for example - how do I repeat bar 3 just for editing and 
that it NOT start at bar one and then loops till bar 4.

:( (:

Ah sorry, that's where you use the "hold" function. As far as I remember 
you do have to wait until the bar you want starts playing then hit hold 
but I'm hoping Colin may tweak that a little at some point. With very 
fast bars of tbase 64 it's sometimes hard to catch the one you want 
using this technique.

BTW the new bar copy function works really well and I didn't realise 
this at first but if you do it with the Func key it works as swap - so 
you swap bars around in a similar way to swapping the order of patterns 
in a playlist. All looking very nice really.. :)

Oops, you mean loop bars 3&4 only? Don't think you can right now...

I will learn to read these things properly one day :)

You can't as yet.

I'm going to add in a 'last bar' value for each pattern, that will allow you
to have, for example, a 4 bar pattern only play the first 2 bars before
looping.
That will allow equivalent functionality to playlist edit, where you could
set up patterns beyond the playlist length before they are included.
A 'rotate bars' function would then allow you to edit a pattern in the way
you want - set last bar to bar 2, then rotate your 4 bar pattern so that
bars 3 and 4 move to bars 1 and 2.
So I guess we're looking at a page 10 in pattern edit mode, to include last
bar and rotate.

Or a simpler way to do it might be to have a loop bar, where the pattern
returns to a bar other than the first, after it reaches the last bar.
That would mean that a pattern could have an 'intro' section, say 2 bars,
that always plays when the pattern is newly selected, then if loop bar was
set at bar 3, the track would loop around bars 3 and 4.
Seems like quite a useful idea.
