Is there a command which would allow to play at position after scrubbing in a playlist~ clip ?

More precisely: after you shift scrub into a clip to find let's say a starting point, you would like to start playing from this point on the selected clip of a playlist~

At the moment, pressing play will restart the clip from the beginning. The only way to start at a different point from the beginning of a clip is to make a time selection, but then you cannot scrub to find the right beginning position.

Starting from the selected point does not seam to exist. I have tried to send a play 2.333 as the signal position outlet but the playlist~ object does not understand float, nor floating sig~.

I believe this functionality would be very useful and easy to add.

The simplest way would be something like "play_at_selection" or find a way fo easily send a start point.

I would really like this feature as well!!

Or is it maybe already implemented? There is still a lot of documentation missing in the playlist~ reference, concerning the effect of the messages...

Playlist~ is a very good performance tool, because it allows an easy visualisation. It is also a very good tool for max beginners and students. But it needs serious improvements.

My requests for playlist~ would be the followings :

- Making playlist~ visible and automated in parameter mode, pattr, preset...

allowing it to memorize settings such as loop mode, selection, pitch...,etc.

- Allowing relative path such as a "sounds" folder in the top patch folder.

- Adding important players commands and feedback outputs (duration)

- Mapping each clip and controls to different controllerss (MIDI/keyboard)

- Associate it with polybuffer and allowing polyphony (playing several clips simultaneously)

There seems to be a bug in the playlist~ sync output with .mp3 files :

Instead of sending a signal value of n. 0 to 1 the output overflows to n+1.085...

Is there something I did not understand, is it a bug or a soundfile issue?
