I've been thinking about this.  Based on the syntax of
this XCMD posted by Gareth, it has no built in way
to specify cycling the music.

I am just thinking out loud, but one way to make it
cycle would be to first time the duration of the synthLAB
sequence.  Then you would have to put the time from
the IIGS clock into a global container (variable) just
before the sequence plays.  Then use the Idle handler
to check the current time from the IIGS clock minus
the start time against the known duration of the song.
If the difference is greater than the duration, the
song would have ended so you would play the
sequence again.
