Starting and Stopping Playback

The playback location marker indicates where playback will begin when you hit the SPACE key.

You can also start playback at the beginning of the current list of selected notes and rests, or at the beginning of the current region selection, by holding down the SHIFT key when you hit the SPACE key. This feature is quite handy when you have added or edited some notes. You can immediately hear the notes you are working with. If you want to start the playback a few beats before the notes you are working with, then hit the key a few times, before hitting SHIFT+SPACE, to select some previous notes.

To start playback at the current selection of noteheads and rests, or the current selection region:
