[CM] bug in cycle pattern ??

[Heinrich Taube]

yes thanks! ralph's example was good. you should create a pattern ONE  
time, but read from it as many times as you like

; create a pattern
begin
   with mypat = next(make-cycle({1 2 3 4 5}))

   ; read 10 elements
   loop repeat 10
     print(next(mypat))
   end

end

; its also possible to read a bunch of items using the next function  
itself, for example this reads 50 items from one pattern

next(make-cycle({1 2 3 4 5}), 50)




apologies i have a few pending messages to reply to -- ill try to get  
through them by tomorrow!
