**OS** (e.g. Win10): Win11  
**PsychoPy version** (e.g. 1.84.x): PsychoPy 2022.1.4  
**Standard Standalone? (y/n)** If not then what?: yes  
**What are you trying to achieve?:**  
I am creating an experiment where a new type of sound stimuli is presented after every 10 sound stimuli.

**What did you try to make it work?:**  
I have created two loops and use the code to terminate the first loop to continue the routine for the second loop:  
myCount = myCount + 1  
if myCount \> 9:  
myCount = 0  
Loop1.finished = True

**What specifically went wrong when you tried that?:**  
I want all stimuli in the list are represented sequentially, but they kept looping the first 10 stimuli. How can I run through the whole stimuli list in this design? Thank you very much!

Hello TTT

change your code to

```auto
myCounter += 1

if myCounter > 9:
    myCounter = 0
    continueRoutine = True
else:
    continueRoutine = False

```

Best wishes Jens
