What about if the engine depends on the limits to be properly set in
order for it to function correctly?

I'm thinking in particular of a sampler and its play and loop ranges.
The loop range must reside within the play range, and the play range
must reside within the actual bounds of the sample.

If I were to add a release loop to this... Then at minimum the end
point of the second loop would need to be after (or equal to) the end
point of the first loop.

I suppose the obvious answer is to put this validation in the set and
get methods of the engine.

I just wondered if someone could define a case where it would be in
the set/get methods of engine, and another case where it should be in
the UI.

Regards,
James.
