Multiple Timeline Regions.

Currently the sequencer allows one timeline looping region. If it allowed unlimited timeline looping regions instead of just one it would really help sequenced arrangement performers. When I perform a sequenced arrangement I almost always want the record loop to repeat until I exit it explicitly (via foot controller). This makes everything more dynamic for multiple reasons: it allows me to let some time pass while I pick up the next instrument while all active tracks loop; play through the section more than once while just keeping the last cycle; remember what I'm supposed to be playing on this section!; just let it groove an indefinite number of times before proceeding.

Merged in a post:
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.
