  The problem I am having is that, when I loop, I
have to start at the
 beginning every time.  Once the playhead gets to the loop, it loops the
 section I want, but this is sort of wasting practice time, as I have to
 start from the beginning every time I stop.

 So, long story short, is there a way to start in the middle of the song,  or
  start at the beginning of the loop? 

 Didn't find a way to do this within seq24 either.
 Recently I installed gjacktransport (
 http://gjacktransport.sourceforge.net/)
  - I didn't really use or test it though, just started it once and it
 worked well together with seq24. 

I just installed gjacktransport too, it looks nice but doesn't do much for
looping, or counting time by measures.

 Ardour would do the job as well, but it might be a bit bloated for the
 task...

This actually works great, hah!  Your right, complete overkill and a big
hack... but I open an empty track, set to jack master, and loop a range...
sure enough, seq24 plays that range over an over.  Now, just need ardour to
*record* the midi and life will be easy. :)
