A way to reset the loop to the beginning?

Perhaps this is already in there, and I'm just too dense to find it....
When recording loops, I'll often end up with a very long loop. I'll start recording the next "layer," flub it, and want to try again, but since I can't reset the loop to the beginning (or 4 beats from the end), I have to sit and wait for the beginning to come around.

There are a couple ways it could be done... I like your idea of a reset 4 beats from the end (for long loops). Perhaps a single command available while looping (Cancel-and-Rerecord) which would cancel that loop and jump the loop to either the beginning (for short loops) or 4 beats from the end for longer ones, then start recording immediately. The current beta version has a reset-to-beginning button in the Loop Mixer screen, which could also help.
