Set Rounded Locators by Regions/Events/Marquee: Rounds the position of the locators to the barline that is nearest to the beginning and end points of the selected regions or events, or the marquee selection.
Set Rounded Locators/Loop by Regions/Events/Marquee
New and improved over the previous ‘Set Rounded Locators by Regions/Events’ command. I don’t think I ever have wanted to do this without enabling the loop at the same time. The ‘U’ command gets the job done, and if I _really_ don’t want to have the cycle turned on I can simply use the ‘Cycle Mode’ command — ‘C’. A simple U — C sequence.
I rarely use rounded locators, preferring the ‘⌘U’ version — ‘Set Locators…’. I habitually type ‘⌘UC’ to set the locators.
If I have planned things, or examined them and made _notes_ I will have markers at the relevant location. With markers I can move around and cycle easily as well.

You can use the cycle area to repeatedly play a particular part of a project. The cycle area can be used for composing, practicing a part before recording, recording multiple takes, and other purposes.

Move Locators Forward by 1 Bar
Change the locator positions forward by one bar.
Setting the locators based on the Marquee selection makes a lot of sense for my workflow. I need to remember to keep the Marquee ruler visible. Many commands are available from the contextual menu (control-click) on the Marquee menu.
