Jus to be even clearer, If you press space, you don't necessarily have to
press y to bring you back to the point from which you started playback.
That's only necessary if you want to use space again to restart play from
the last playback position. If you press space to stop play and then press
p instead of pressing space to resume play, you will start play from the
place where you last started play without hearing the message about the
properties window.
I happened to be watching the screen carefully and I've determined
that the properties play message is activated because, even though the
properties window reappears the instant escape is pressed, JAWS, or the
plugin, doesn't know that fast enough, I suppose. Anyway, using the escape
key is simply a habit I have to break since nothing is actually failing.
Dan, you're awesome.

Actually, just to be clear, pressing y after space returns you to the place
from where you last started playback regardless of where that was. That's
actually a good thing. Not withstanding that, however, it probably would be
useful to find out just why escape causes jaws to behave as it does. Kevin

After stopping with space, you could press y to return the playback line to
the beginning. Then you would hear your piece from the beginning without
any problems.

Subject: [sib-access] The properties window is closed and needs to be opened
Dan,
I'm working on a string quartet and whenever I play the score from a
given point, I usually stop the score by pressing escape in midperformance
in order that successive playbacks will start from the original point,
wherever that was. When I do this, I get the erroneous message that the
properties window is closed and needs to be opened. Go to the window menu
and make sure that the properties window is checked. I have gone to the
window and it is indeed checked. Not only that, I can visually see that it
is available as ever. Using the space bar to stop playback is not desirable
in this case as the next playback will resume from the stop point. Just
thought you'd like to know.
Kevin
