[CM] baby steps

[john saylor]

hi

i'm just trying to get grace to write a midi file. there is an example
provided: midiout.scm. when i 'load' this file i get this error:
>>> Error: Scheduler busy, cannot open "test.mid"

and yet, i have 'touch'-ed the file, so it is there and writable ...

$ ls -l test.mid
-rw-rw-r-- 1 js js 0 Jun 24 21:20 test.mid

and Grace is pointed to the right place:
Working directory: "/home/js"

 i am using ubuntu:
$ uname -a
Linux bedroom-composer 3.2.0-25-generic #40-Ubuntu SMP Wed May 23
20:33:05 UTC 2012 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

Grace 3.7.2 [svn:1929] (c) 2012 Rick Taube
JUCE v1.52.0 (c) 2012 Julian Storer
S7 Scheme 1.83 (14-Mar-11) (c) 2012 William Schottstaedt
 /\\\

any help is appreciated. btw, also tried to load the midi file writing
code from
http://commonmusic.sourceforge.net/cm/res/doc/cm.html#audio

i get a different error:
>>> Error: file: unbound variable

?
