[CM] cm question

[Heinrich Taube]

You can use 'r' to mark rests:
cm> (note 'r)
"r"
cm> (key 'r)
-1
you can use negative values to mark rhythms:

cm> (rhythm -1/4)
-1.0


of course, you need to check for those values and not pass them on to  
you file or port!

(define (foo n)
    (process with pat = (make-weighting '(c4 r d4 r e4 r f4))
                     repeat n
                     for k = (key (next pat))
                     unless (eq? k -1)
                     do (send "mp:midi" :key k)
                     (wait .5)))
