<TITLE>How to fix: Can't schedule events in non-real time while RTS is running.?</TITLE>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>Hi all,<BR>
<BR>
I keep on studying Notes from the Metalevel and I've just<BR>
finished the chapter about Steve Reich's piano phasing composition.<BR>
<BR>
I was able to run the code successfuly, however after<BR>
I have listened to it I wanted to play a very simple note<BR>
and to my amazement I can't do it:<BR>
<BR>
(define one (new midi<BR>
:time 0<BR>
:keynum 60<BR>
:duration 2))<BR>
<BR>
(events one "myscore.mid")<BR>
<BR>
It says: Can't schedule events in non-real time while RTS is running.<BR>
<BR>
And then I tried the example that worked just a few sec. ago:<BR>
<BR>
CM> (events (piano2 phasing-trope 1 1 .5 4) "reich.mid")<BR>
Can't schedule events in non-real time while RTS is running.<BR>
NIL<BR>
<BR>
CM> (events (pphase phasing-trope 1 1 .5) "reich.mid")<BR>
Can't schedule events in non-real time while RTS is running.<BR>
NIL<BR>
<BR>
I searched for RTS in the Common Music dictionary and I saw<BR>
that there's a function rts-stop however running that<BR>
function and trying to play something I received the very<BR>
same error. I also checked rts?<BR>
<BR>
CM> (rts?)<BR>
NIL<BR>
<BR>
How can I make Common Music start playing MIDI again?<BR>
Is there a way to do that without exiting Emacs and restarting<BR>
Common Music?<BR>
<BR>
BTW, my system details:<BR>
<BR>
$ uname -a<BR>
Linux debian 2.6.11-1-686 #1 Mon Jun 20 22:00:38 MDT 2005 i686 GNU/Linux<BR>

Happy hacking,<BR>
