Add ability to loop any section.

Would love to be able to set loop brackets to current section and begin looping whenever the loop button is pressed. Pressing the loop button again would escape the loop and continue song.

That's great to hear! I'll mark this request as complete then.

Generally, the loop button only appears in the web app when the playhead is currently inside Live's loop bracket.

Hey Steven!
The feature you requested already exists in AbleSet. If you go to the app's options menu and enable "Auto-Loop the Current Section", AbleSet will automatically move the loop bracket to always be around the section that's currently playing. You can then use the loop button in the web app or map a MIDI controller to Live's loop button to toggle the loop.
Let me know if this works the way you expect it to :)

Leo Bernard: Yes! This is the exact behavior I was looking for. I saw that option on first install, but I could only seem to get it to loop the one section that was playing when I first enabled the option. The loop icon actually disappeared while in other sections? I'm sure it was user error! :) I just reattempted and it is working as expected.

This feature alone saves me a great deal of time, not having to plot out all the stuff in this screen cap!
