looping a group

[James Lo]

Is it OK to loop a sequential group cue indefinitely by having its last cue be a Start cue that targets the group to which it belongs? e.g.

Group 1 (start first)
sound 1 autofollow
sound 2 autofollow
sound 3 autofollow
Start Group 1
Stop Group 1

In programming jargon, is this tail recursion or iteration?

[Ethan Eldred]

I do it! 

When I do, I have Grouo 1’s trigger tab set to “when running, a second trigger…” “…hard stops and restarts.” And sometimes I have to put a tiny prewait on sound 1. 

However,

In Qlab 5, the better solution is a playlist mode group set to loop until stopped!
