Ableset always jumps to song one

Dear Community!

I am experiencing a weird thing in Ableset 2:

When clicking on a song and then pushing play, Ableton always starts the first song. This happens if I click on a song after the previous song stops using Autostop/Stop marker AND if I pause a song and then click on the new song and press “Play”. (There is for some reason no “Stop” in the transport bar below, only “back”, “play/pause”, “loop” and “next”.
The only way i can start a new song is when a song is already playing and i click on a different song, then this song starts immediately.
I also noticed that the first marker of the first song in the Ableton project is always green, which seems strange!

I am looking forward to your help!

All the best, Misterkeys!

Hey @Misterkeys99, welcome to the forum!

This issue is likely caused by a locator having the “Set Song Start Time Here” option enabled. When this option is active, Ableton Live will always jump to that specific locator when you start playback, regardless of where your playhead is positioned.

To fix this, could you try right-clicking on the locator of the song that keeps playing and checking that “Set Song Start Time Here” is not enabled? If it is, disabling this option should help.

Let me know if this works for you! :slight_smile:
