I'm testing the new score opcodes. I find them very useful when using macro arithmetic. 
I'd like an opcode which terminates the loop cycle without terminating a section, in order
to allow using more loops at the same time. Unfortunately at present time only 's', 'e'
and a new 'r' can be used to terminate the loop cycle, which make impossible to begin a
concurrent loop. There is a way to avoid this? That is, I'd like a terminator (such as 's'
opcode) that doesn't reinit the time clock and doesn't obbligate to place all the new
notes after the end of the previous section. Could it be possible?
