[CM] lisp loop iteration in cm

[Juan I Reyes]

Hi Rick,

I have been trying to implement the following Lisp function for the
Henon map in CM with no success. Perhaps I am missing something in the
way loops are implemented in CM and therefore I thought may be you could
guide me a little o bit or give some clues on how would be the best way
to deal with this sort of Lisp loops in CM. I just want to output a MIDI
note after each Iteration inside a dotimes Lisp loop and update present
and past values.

  Thanks a lot!
