I'm guessing there is no such command?
Another example, let's say you've made a selection of 4 bars that you want to loop, but you realize you actually need 6 bars. Just ctrl+alt++/- to change the grid value to 1 bar, use the "extend selection to grid" command 2 times and you're done... No needless mouse dragging... 
I can imagine there would be all kind of other situations where such a command would come in handy when you work with loops, samples, when you frequently cut/copy/paste on the grid... Other opinions 'bout this? |
There is no command to do that... In my experience it wouldn't help unless your drummer is always late on the downbeat... otherwise you'd have a piece of the next Kick at the loop point... I suggest using the Trim Tool in Grid/Bars & Beats mode...
Edit the top and bottom of the loop using the B to split clip (region), quantize the region with Option+0, use the Trim Tool to extend the clip to the next bar in Grid Mode - check that the end is clean and you don't have any of the next Kick -- if you do there are a few ways to deal with that... I'd probably time stretch a little of the end of the clip to fill the space... Now either consolidate or create a Clip Group of the 'loop' and use the Loop Trim Tool or Loop Clip function to repeat the clip. Do not use copy/paste or duplicate or you'll run into rounding errors.
