[Fmpro] are loops ok to use?

[Chris Alpiar]

I wrote a LOT of jazz charts in my day, and rhythm section parts often were
chord charts with slashes and rythms for hits. But the chords were very
specific, the melody was written out, and any non rhythm section parts were
all written note for note. But that’s jazz... ;)

I remember a guy who 'wrote' a bongo piece.. it looked like....   
play //// //// //// //// etc.
The piece was used extensively on the BBC.
Composer expected big £'s........ PRS said NO, it was not  
composition,  the courts declared it was since information was provided.

If a composer tells a computer where to start and stop a loop......  
is this similar?
