+PAUSE and +STOP in sections not working

Hi people, the +PAUSE and +STOP locator tags are simply not working for me. They will just get ignored and the section will play anyway. Any tips?
Thanks,

Hey @Heiko_Fischer82, welcome to the forum!

To troubleshoot this issue, could you DM me your project file or upload it to my support inbox? You can also include a video of the behavior if you like, that often helps me figure out what’s going wrong.

Could you also let me know which OS and version, which version of Live and which version of AbleSet you’re using?

Hey @leolabs, thanks for getting back so quickly. I sent you a screen-recording and my project file to the support inbox. I’m on MacOS Sequoia 15.5, Ableset 2.7.5 and Ableton Live 12.1.10. Thanks for trying to help.

Hey @Heiko_Fischer82, thank you for the files!

It seems that there’s two conflicting behaviors here. If you place a +PAUSE section directly after a +LOOP section, then disabling the loop jumps to the next section on the next downbeat, but it won’t respect the +PAUSE flag in this case.

To fix this, you can use +LOOPFULL flags instead of +LOOP. When you escape a loop defined by this flag, AbleSet will just disable the loop bracket instead of jumping to the next section, and as soon as the playhead reaches the next section with a +PAUSE flag, it will pause playback.

I hope this helps! :slight_smile:

Thanks a lot! This really helps. Really appreciated. Keep up the great work. Huge fan of Ableset!
