When writing or debugging a score, it's useful to use the MIDI playback feature to start from a specific point. When working on a particular section, it would be useful if the "Play from..." command remembered the last time offset used and provided it as a default. It can also be pre-selected, so that if the user wanted to enter a new offset, they could just start typing and it would erase the previously used offset.

Proposed scenario

Suppose I am working on a section 1 minute and 2 seconds into the piece.

  1. I run "MIDI Playback: Play from..."
  2. The time offset input dialog appears, with no current value
  3. I enter "1:02" and hit enter
  4. the MIDI score plays from 1:02
  5. I made some changes to that section of the score
  6. I run "MIDI Playback: Play from..."
  7. The time offset input dialog appears, with the value "1:02" already entered and selected
  8. I hit "enter"
  9. The MIDI score plays from 1:02
  10. Satisfied with this section, I start working on an earlier section and make some changes
  11. The time offset input dialog appears, with the value "1:02" already entered and selected
  12. I enter "0:33" and hit enter
  13. The MIDI score plays from 0:33
