          Hi Amy,
          I’m using a mouse. I make the tab viewer full screen, left click to set my start point. I left click and hold and drag an end point bar. The only way I can get the bar to the end of the piece is to keep holding the left click button while scrolling with the mouse wheel.

              Amy,

              I use a mouse also, but might have hit this problem before. If you hit the gear icon at the bottom and set the view to full screen, you can also adjust the zoom level. I think as long as you see all of what you want to select, you can select and then loop.

              Hope that helps.

              Bob

                Good catch, Bob. I never noticed that before, it’s the slider at the top of settings above the volume slider.

                    Amy,

                    Thanks for asking this question. And Bob S, as Charjo said, “Good catch”. I had run into this problem before but never figured it out.
