Explanation of feature requests:

1. play and loop actual/current sequence

• workaround is to set playlist mark and loop on the same line, use F2 to play
• however, it works only in case if the last pattern is looped

2. scratch sequence (pattern), orderlist, instrument, tables

• currently "clear sequences" is the only option to wipe out music data
• an option to delete specific table only, for example pulse table with a keyboard shortcut

3. orderlist color marker and/or separator

• idea for a "separator" is to use a - mark or similar, however, this would mess up the orderlist if sequences' length is not always the same
• instead, use colors to mark specific patterns, would help with understanding the song structure

4. set default length for new sequence

• currently a new and empty sequence's length is 001 when added
• set a value in user.ini (?) that would be the length of a newly added empty sequence
• for example value 020, every time a new sequence is created, its lenght would be 020

5. STOP at orderlist end

• workaround is to add an empty sequence and set loop point
• a true STOP might or might not be useful, i would say this is a very low priority wish

+1 manually edit orderlist

• insert, delete, copy-paste sequences in orderlist
