Hello list,
I’m working on translating some old CM code and am stumbling on how to
do a case statement in Grace. I’m giving a pared-down example. Currently
the problems (likely all related) are:
1. I do get one note out (yay) in addition to the error:
>>> Error: attempt to apply the integer 1 to ({s7-error}-11 80 8.1
# 8.1 8.1 {s7-error}-11 {s7-error}-11)?
casethejoint: (ffi_cm_print args) ; args: ("attempt to
apply ~A ~S t...
casethejoint: ((set! {v}-567 (+ {v}-567 1)) {w...
casethejoint: (call-with-exit (lambda (return)... ; thecase: 0, newdur: 8.1
; newkeynum: 80
; waittime: 8.1
; thetime: 8.1
casethejoint: (sprout (casethejoint))
No success single quoting.
2. It seems to always pick the second case, whether “thecase” picks 0 or 1,
or whether I switch the numbers (make case 1 come first and case 0 second).
3. When I use the commented line (process while (<= theme 100) to control
the length of the process, it is clear that time doesn’t update. (This
update method works fine when not part of the attempted case statement.)
Any leads on documentation appreciated—I’ve been through the examples that
come with Grace, and of course, the online documentation, without success.
Please pardon the formatting and many thanks for any tips.
