Number of loops cannot = 1?

Using 10.6.1:
SCS won’t let me use a single loop. It says I have to use a number >1. So I can have unlimited or 2, but not one? Two loops is too long for my current need.

Have you tried it? The pop-up label on the loop count box says "Number of times the looped part of the sound is to be heard...". Surely, if it's only heard once it's not a loop. If you enter "2", it will loop back once only and then play to the end.

Hmm... I suppose the value of >1 seemed a bit misleading. I expected to enter a value of 1 to loop once. Instead I need a value of 2 to play a certain section twice. I suppose it's just a matter of semantics. Never mind.

Mike, if there's a lot of confusion on this, you might consider using a term which is clear on whether or not the first iteration is included in the count ... for example:
- "# iterations" includes the first time through the audio section
- "# repeats" does not include the first time through.
Maybe those aren't very clear either ...

Yes, this is probably the best solution. I remember not being sure whether to make the 'number of loops' inclusive or exclusive of the first iteration, and for some reason settled on making it inclusive.
