Sequencer loop stopped working in update to 1.12

on latest mac but issue is on hardware too

In my initial app prototypes i had this file in which i set a sequence and then play it. this works.

mknutsen/Clikeiq/blob/a5eea91cc892713a4692ed63becad9bf03289cff/main.lua#L84


      
          local sequence = playdate.sound.sequence.new()
          sequence:setTempo(4)
          local track = playdate.sound.track.new()
          sequence:addTrack(track)
          track:setInstrument(synthSin)
          track:addNote(0, 50, 1)
          track:addNote(1, 51, 1)
          track:addNote(2, 55, 1)
          track:addNote(3, 80, 1)
          
          sequence:setLoops(0, 3)
          sequence:play()
          
          
          
          local baseNoteSin = 50 -- near middle c
          local baseNoteTriangle = 50 -- near middle c
          local baseNoteSaw = 50 -- near middle c
          local baseNoteNoise = 50 -- near middle c
          
          local spread = 12 -- one octave

On the latest version I call setLoops and play an empty sequence and it does not continue to play once i add notes. however strangely, if i start the loop over once notes have been added it still only plays the loop through once. I have tested the callback method but would prefert setLoops to work as the description indicates

downgrading SDK allows the code to run

Fixed in 1.12.1, which is taking a lot longer to get out than we expected. Sorry!
