My BBC Master - - - getting Beeped-off.

[Judy Perry]

Richard,

Well what's not working isn't exactly not working, but somebody else noted
that an extra space in the notestring makes Shakobox execute incorrectly (if
you check earlier threads, what I was doing was retranscribing what I had
done in HC notation for Bach's Tocatta & Fuge in D-Minor into Shakobox in
single channel notation because channel 1 is as far as I got) -- the extra
empty space made it I think ignore all subsequent notestrings  (it played
one really, really long note).
Which I find strange.  It really can't be parsing 3-char notestrings EXACTLY
because, by definition, any given pitch can be described by one to four or
more chars.  So, parsing for a three-char note string can't make sense and
screw up the pitch-note duration production I would think.

That's why I was desperate enough to d/l Rebecca's (Jon's?) sourcecode and
RB as well to try to figure out what was happening.  Unlike you, I was up to
my armpits in stuff that made absolutely no sense to me whatsoever ;-)

Which is why I do my best to lead the charge, carry the banner... you get my
drift I suspect.  ;-)

AND for anybody who wonders why I top-post, it's because it's what gmail,
yahoo-mail, PINE and MacOS X mail all provide as the default.  It may well
suck but apparently that is what real programmers want because that is what
they provide.

;-P
