in song editor i cant skip position - track keeps playing

Having trouble with LMMS? Ask about it here.
hey there.
i want to work with long vocalsamples and looong notes. kind of noisyAmbientStuff.
my problem now is, when i start the song in song editor, i am not able to jump to later point of the track. it keeps playing forward, without skipping. that means i have to start from the beginning and have to wait until i reach the position i want to work at.

is this just like that or is it smth i can fix?
any help welcome.

kind regards!

Yes, here you need to make a real stop -eg either click mouse on the STOP-PLAYING-Square, or hit space.
Then you can move the play-head to a new position, and start PLAY there.
The reason is, that when a note is initiated, and the engine is running, then the note will play to end-of-note, so it has to be stopped manually.

It is btw important that you have a new RC7, if you like to use long samples, because RC7 let you start in any position in a sample!
Hello musikbear,

I've been using RC7 for long samples, and everything worked fine. But I'm having issues with using PITCH for my other projects. How to avoid the bug? Thanks.

I believe you are asking two things(?)
1)
i have to start from the beginning in samples
Sounds like you have our old 1.1.3 so I recommend you to upgrade!

*Back-up your own stuff
*Un-install current installation
*(re)move the config dot-file
https://lmms.io/wiki/index.php?title=LM ... h_Settings
*download a fresh new installation-pack either x32 or x64 of
LMMS 1.2.0 RC7 Orange buttons!
https://lmms.io/download/#windows
Linux-users need the AppImage on the Linux-tab!
https://github.com/LMMS/lmms/releases/d ... 4.AppImage
*re-install as administrator and grant all users access

2)

Samples will play to the end, unless you hit STOP, then you can move to another position in the sample and start re-play there (in RC7 not 1.1.3)
