Play/loop part of song.

[kamilko]

Hi,
I've been using Hydrogen for practice with my instrument. Many times I've get some complicated rhythmic scores from my tutor so in Hydrogen I'm just making bar after bar (as patterns) with proper rhythm (only hand clapping). This process is extremely easy in Hydrogen so I've been using it for more than year.
When such "song" is finish I can focus on notes during play and follow clapping as rhythm - this really speed up my learning. However many parts should be played as "sections" - and when I struggle with such section, I wonder if I can loop few patterns together? Right now I can only select one pattern or song to play in loop.

Example how my "song" looks:

Depends on real song - sometimes it's easy to match section=pattern, then I can loop just selected pattern, but like in this example, lots of patterns would be like 12 or 16 bars - to match correct "part" which I can loop and practice.

Am I missing some obvious trick to play in loop just selected part of a song (made from few patterns)?
Is this possible in Hydrogen?

Hey @kamilko ,

For now this is not possible from within Hydrogen. If you are on Linux, you could start a DAW - like MusE - and JACK along Hydrogen, set up a loop in the DAW and harness transport synchronization via JACK to accomplish looping in Hydrogen.

Apart from that there is a vague plan to introduce it in Hydrogen too. Maybe already in the next major release 2.0. Maybe in 2.1
