Add play-from-start-of-bar
Alt+Space plays from the downbeat of the bar the cursor is in. Auditioning a cell says what a note is; playing from the bar line says whether it is in the right place, which is the question that matters at 16ths and 32nds and cannot be answered from a note in isolation. REAPER can almost do this by chaining a go-to-measure action with play, but that leaves the edit cursor at the bar line -- and the edit cursor is the grid cursor, so you would lose your editing position every time you listened. Here the cursor is moved just long enough to start playback and then restored with seekplay=false so the restore cannot drag playback with it. Works regardless of grid mode, being a listening aid rather than an edit.

## Hearing it in context

`Alt+Space` plays from the **top of the bar the cursor is in**, and says which
|
||||
bar. Stop with `Space` as usual.

Auditioning a cell tells you what a note *is*; playing from the downbeat tells

you whether it is in the right *place*. At 16ths or 32nds that difference is

the whole question, and it cannot be judged from a note in isolation.

Your position is preserved. The edit cursor doubles as the grid cursor, so it

is moved to the bar line only long enough to start playback and then put

straight back — you carry on editing exactly where you were.

This one works whether or not grid mode is on, since it is a listening aid

rather than an editing action.
