looping:
In loop mode the first two clicks in the score set the left and right edge of the looping

synchronizing:
- When your audio file is synthesized from score, no manual synchronization is necessary. Otherwise (e.g.
live performance or video) you have to synchronize the media manually.
- By clicking in a measure you synchronize the *first* beat of that measure to the audio.
- Clicking in the first measure synchronizes the first beat (of the music) to (the first note) in the
media file. This sets the, so called, offset of the media file.
- The duration of the current measure and offset are shown in the top right corner of the display. You can
precisely adjust these numbers with the keyboard sync commands (preferably when media is paused).
