Good things come to those who wait.

I've tried to simulate loop windowing with scripts but have not come up

with anything satisfactory.  Someone suggested (maybe you?) a script

that would use a combination of Undo, Move, and SUSUnroundedMultiply to

cut out a piece of the last layer, let it play once, then Undo back

and cut out the piece before the last, repeating until you reach the

start of the layer.  Then Undo twice to go back two layers, repeat until

you run out of layers.  

That would actually be possible but it would be a relatively complicated

script.  The main difference between this and loop windowing is that the

window can't span two layers.  I gave up on it because it seemed easier

just to implement loop windowing than to write that script :)  But that

got shelved during the Great Documentation Frenzy that's been going on 

the past year.  I will be back to coding again in 2011.
