Summary	0009637: MIDI loop recording loses newly recorded notes
Description	Setting up e.g. Black Pearl MIDI Track to create the drums while looping. Record the bass first, then the snare, then the next MIDI notes. The record mode is sound on sound. The new notes create the sound and the notes are displayed in the MIDI region, but the new run of the loop skips the new notes.
Steps To Reproduce	Supposed workflow: Setup: - create a range of a few bars - arm+record - record mode: sound on sound - loop range Main Task: - first loop record bass - second loop record snare ... Suggested: 1. notes sound 2. notes appear on the MIDI grid 3. notes are recorded, kept and played in the next iteration of the loop
Additional Information	Using "Play Range" while recording keeps the notes. I somewhere read about a feature, where all layers are active (and therefore produce sound) but couldn't find it. IMHO as a quick fix, the "Loop Range" could be implemented as an endless "Play Range". Bug in [github tagged] Ardour 8.2 and the nightly of 2024/02/10 AVLinux, Debian 11
