CAL Specialists, help needed on insert NOTE

[Heinz Hupfer]

Hi:)

 

In CAL language I'm trying to insert a NOTE event at the Now Time, here the very easy Script:

============================

(dword takt)

(do

   (== takt Now)
    
    (insert takt 1 NOTE 60 100 240)
    
)

============================

It works, but it only works if at least one note is selected, if none is selected it doesn't work, why?

Doesn't matter which note is selected but if, it inserts the note on C3 at the Now time

Can't figure out, why I have to select a note to insert one!

 

Thanks;)

Bassman.

all three lines should be in the do block like this

(do
    (dword takt)
    (= takt Now)
    (insert takt 1 NOTE 60 100 240)
)

or use a one liner

(insert Now 1 NOTE 60 100 240)

Is not an assignment statement. This is

(= takt Now)

I always got an error if I did this, but found out, it was another problem:

After "(do " you MUST have a new line and a TAB before you start an "(int .....". If you don't have a TAB between do and int you get an error:(

(do

(int mode 1)  

 

gets an error!

 

(do

      (int mode 1) 

 

all is fine!

 

Searched about an hour to find out this problem:(

 

Thank you scook for your answer, helped me a lot:)

Working in CAL I have Emacs in Lisp mode so formatting happens automatically.

I have notepad++ as standard editor, have  to look for automatic formatting.  I'm pretty Sure it's possible in notepad!

 

Thanks?
