I loaded J8.01 and now J9.01 but I don't know how to break execution like I used to do with the yellow J icon. The yellow J icon is not there but I don't see what I missed. -- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware

Thanks to everyone who responded with helpful suggestions. I got the "Cybernetic Music" book and am really enjoying it because it has working APL that I can translate to J - though Thomas McGuire may have already done the work on this - and it tries to explain musical notation to a programmer so I

Devon, I believe I have only gotten as far as some of the Rhythm routines. The rhythm code is based on work of Schillinger (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schillinger_System } who developed a method back in the early 1900s. Supposedly Benny Goodm

Tom - I will be happy to share whatever I do with this. My main problem is my lack of musical knowledge so it's helpful to have my music teacher friend look this over. One thing that confused both of us is the output of the "RSLTNT" code on page 54. I see that you reproduced this in J as "result

How do you start two J sessions on a Mac?  My client tells me that when they click the J icon they get a J session, but when they do it again they get nothing. Henry Rich -- This email has been checked for viruses by AVG. https://www.avg.com ---

In macos, clicking a desktop icon for an app that is already running just gives it focus. However, you can load multiple copies of J from the command line, i.e. something like ~/j901/bin/jqt.command Equivalently, browse to the J bin folder in Finder and double click jqt.command. On Wed, Apr 2

So the top line is a duration based on the key signature for which you are interested in composing in. So in 4/4 time you could decide the duration is a quarter note and then measures would look like: Measure 1: Dotted 1/2 note, quarter note carried over to the next measure as a quarter note, M

As far as I can see, the normal installers no longer create the jbreak icon. Here is one possible update to ~addons/ide/jhs/installer.ijs jbreak to add a jbreak option for shortcut: Old: Winx=: 3 : 0 select. y case.'jc' do. win'jc' ;'jconsole';'jgray.ico';LIB case. 'jhs' do. win'jhs';'jconso

A more "maccy" way to do it (e.g. for jqt) is simply to duplicate jqt.app and rename the copy to jqt2.app. This is more attractive to a competent Mac user, who doesn't care to become an expert in the guts of J. It will also work with any app file, though some of them are large (Xcode runs to gigab
