Feature request: toggle markers

I'll start off by saying I love Anytune and use it all the time.  It's a fantastic way to learn by ear the type of music I like to play (mostly old-time string band tunes but other stuff too).  Here's a feature that would make the app so much easier to use for learning tunes phrase-by-phrase: let us toggle marks on and off (option click?).  With this feature, you can have markers at phrase boundaries and when you feel like you have a grasp on one piece of a phrase you can turn off (but not delete!) the marker at the end of the phrase to have the auto-loop extend to the next marker without having to go in and manually set the A and B points or having to delete a marker you may want to re-enable the next time you come back to the tune.  This seems like it should be relatively straightforward to implement and would hugely improve the experience of using the app.  Thanks for considering!

  That is an interesting suggestion, thank you for making it.

  Currently you can achieve this type of result using nested Loop Marks, and selecting from the Marks List the next size Loop you wish to practice.

  To do this; 

  1. Make a series of Marks that define the needed phrases in the song
  2. Return to the first Mark and top A
  3. Tap the Next Mark button and tap B to define the first phrase/loop 
  4. Tap Add Loopmark to lock in that loop
  5. Now just tap Next Mark again, (anytune jumps to the next Mark) and then tap B 
  6. Tap Add Loopmark to lock in that loop
  7. repeat until all required Loop/regions are defined.

  Now when you tap the Loop Marks in the Marks list, you can select the regions to loop in succession or any order you like.
