Yes. After you've set the 'A' point, pressing the A-B button again will set the 'B' point if the current position is after the 'A' point, or reset the 'A' point if the current position is before the previously-set 'A' point.

Right, Problem is, there is no way to know where the first A is until you hit B which closes off that option to change.
So I'm not sure what the function was intended for.
It would be nice to be able to find if it was right before hitting B.
Oh well it's a $250 recording studio

It's not meant as a means to edit the 'A' point. It's just the only behaviour that makes sense. When you press A-B the first time, it sets the 'A' point. When you press it the second time, it's supposed to set the 'B' point. But if you've moved the current song position to a point before the 'A' point, then it can't make that the 'B' point because 'B' must follow 'A'. So, it resets the 'A' point instead.

The only way you could edit the A-B points is if there was a way to jump directly to them when the BR was stopped. But the Micro BR doesn't have that capability.
