That would be a nice additional mode (impossible in the actual soft 
structure). But I still want the old one because pretty often I leave 
a big part of an overdub and just chop off the last wrong note when 
the loop is back there.

In order not to destroy the timing undo obviously needs to jump back 
entire loops. But Overdubs can be of any lenght, you can have two in 
one loop length. So your way probably would again create some 
confusion for the user...

Thanks for the contribution, we will get there!
