Multiple Timeline Regions.

Description:
Loopy Pro users would like the ability to create multiple timeline regions within the sequencer, allowing for more flexible arrangements and looping possibilities.
Problem:
Currently, the sequencer only allows for one continuous timeline looping region. This limitation makes it challenging for users who want to set up more dynamic and flexible arrangements, especially during live performances or when experimenting with song structures.
Proposed Solution:
Implement the ability to define multiple timeline regions that can loop independently or in sequence. These regions should be customizable, with options for setting different loop lengths and behaviors. Additionally, an arrangement widget that functions like a master timeline would allow for quick restructuring during performances.
Benefits:
- Enhanced flexibility for live looping and performance.
- Ability to experiment with different song structures without stopping playback.
- Improved workflow for users who want to set up looping regions with minimal interaction during performance.

Arrangement widget (search for ‘Multiple Timeline Regions’ feature request instead, this is a better solution)

Please vote for Multiple Timeline Regions instead, this is a better solution than this arrangement widget
An arrangement widget that functions similarly to a master timeline, enabling on-the-fly restructuring of the current song, would be beneficial.
Such a feature would also enable experimenting with different structures for the same song. I envision this widget resembling a timeline, where you can insert time codes to dictate where the timeline should jump to.

Using multiple timelines adds incredible power to Loopy Pro, allowing for experimentation with various arrangements and on-the-fly rearrangements when one timeline triggers another. I had previously requested a feature for adjusting arrangement width, but having multiple timelines is a much better solution.

And to clarify, while looping over a loop that's in record mode, by default I would want to have it re-record on each pass through the loop, rather than overdub. Although I'm sure there's a use case for overdubbing too.
Overall my goal is to have as little interaction with Loopy Pro as possible during a performance, letting me focus on playing. So as much as I can, I want to set everything up in advance, and only have to click a foot controller once per "timeline looping region" to tell it to keep the last recordings I played and proceed out of the region.
