Ability to modify the start position of items in song editor

This simple feature should, I think, be pretty easy to implement, if only for beat/bassline segments.
I can drag the end-point of a segment in the song-editor to loop the first half of a beat or stutter-start an audio clip in a single sample track, but I can't do the same thing with the start-point, I can't loop the end or middle of a segment.
This would be incredibly useful. I've had to go to some great lengths to achieve this effect.

This feature is already available. You can set the beginning of a loop at any segment of your choice in your mix. To do that, just hold down the SHIFT key on your keyboard and then RIGHT CLICK at the point you want the loop to start on the loop bar.
To set the end mark, just RIGHT CLICK at any point on the loop bar, the end mark would appear

Your explanation is ambiguous, and i am confused.
You use the word 'stutter'... Do you mean repeat segments that you have selected?
Or is the issue fixed with the explanation of the replay-loop from Dwomoh

Besides that, since you are new in Forum
