[CM] newbie question (sorry)

[Rob Howiler]

Thanks.  That worked like a charm.

Is there any documentation for the “mp:midi” syntax?  I imagine there is more that are more parameters I could control….?

I don’t want to keep posting newbie questions to the list, but I want to get started on making some real music.  I’m still learning the language of Lisp/Common Music, but I feel like I’m ready to start making some music. 

Also, I’ve found an example to write a midi file that seems to work great, but again I’d like to know some more about the with-midi and mp:midi “commands”.  

	(with-midi (“test.mid”)
		(loop for t to 4 by .25
			do (mp:midi t 5 (between 48 84) .1)))

Thanks a whole bunch for getting me this far.
