Iain, the (loop …) macro that I implemented in grace’s s7  is a large subset of the full-blown common lisp loop facility.  (and I believe some years ago it was added to chicken scheme as some sort of add on package)

im not exactly sure what you are trying to do by I doubt you are interested in cm’s processes or composition stuff because that would require juce/c++ support.

but you should be able to take the version of loop i have in grace’s scheme files and drop it in "as is” in your s7/max environment.

Thanks Rick. I'm a bit confused, because I see you quoting a message from Orm, but for some reason I don't see that message anywhere, so i'm not able to make sense of the thread properly. Are you saying that the loop macro is a complete implementation of Common Lisp's loop macro then, but a CM process is not?  I've gone through the loop chapter of Notes from the Metalevel, but don't know the CL implementation well enough to know if there is more that is missing.
