Moves the time selection to the right by whatever the loop length is. So if loop length is 4 bars, this moves it 4 bars to the right.

local lstart, lend
lstart, lend = reaper.GetSet_LoopTimeRange(false, true, 0, 0, false)
local dl = lend-lstart
if dl > 0 then
  nstart = lstart + dl
  nend = lend + dl
  reaper.GetSet_LoopTimeRange(true,true,nstart,nend,false)
end

It is simple to make a script that moves it to the left (and does nothing if it is already too close to the start).

nstart = lstart - dl
nend = lend - dl
if nstart >= 0 then
  reaper.GetSet_LoopTimeRange(true,true,nstart,nend,false)
end

Other similar scripts you can write are to double/half the length

dl *= 2
nstart = lstart
nend = lstart + dl

Simples.

Examples

These are my current scripts. The names should be explanatory
