In Song Mode

Loop Section works a little differently in Song mode where it simply
specifies alternate start and end points. When the song reaches the
endpoint, it stops and auto locates to the start point. In both pattern and
song modes, RTZ still locates to the beginning of the sequence.

The loop points and the loop on switch can be set while the sequencer is
either running or stopped.
