Re: loop windowing in mobius

It sounds like TrimEnd may work here, but I wanted to 
"close the loop" so to speak on the Shuffle discussion...

This script will divide the loop into "slices" equal
to the current subcycle length, then create a new layer
containing repetitions of just the current subcycle.  Each
time you run it will reshuffle the original layer and create
a new layer containing the next subcycle.  When you reach the
end it wraps back to the first subcycle.
