Entering a series of directives for a specific track can get quite
|
|
tedious. To make the creation of library files a bit easier, you can
|
|
create a block. For example, the following:
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
<Table Hspace="40%" CellSpacing=0 CellPadding=10 BGColor="OldLace" Border=3>
|
|
<tr><td>
|
|
<B>Drum Define X 0 2 100; 50 2 90
|
|
<BR>
|
|
Drum Define Y 0 2 100
|
|
<BR>
|
|
Drum Sequence X Y </B>
|
|
|
|
</td></tr>
|
|
</Table>
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
Can be replaced with:
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
<Table Hspace="40%" CellSpacing=0 CellPadding=10 BGColor="OldLace" Border=3>
|
|
<tr><td>
|
|
<B>Drum Begin
|
|
<BR> Define X 0 2 100; 50 2 90
|
|
<BR> Define Y 0 2 100
|
|
End
|
|
<BR>
|
|
Drum Sequence X Y </B>
|
|
|
|
</td></tr>
|
|
</Table>
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
Or, even more simply, with:
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
<Table Hspace="40%" CellSpacing=0 CellPadding=10 BGColor="OldLace" Border=3>
|
|
<tr><td>
|
|
<B>Drum Begin Define
|
|
<BR> X 0 2 100; 50 2 90
|
|
<BR> Y 0 2 100
|
|
<BR>
|
|
End </B>
|
|
|
|
</td></tr>
|
|
</Table>
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
If you examine some of the library files you will see that this
|
|
shortcut is used a lot.
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
<H1><A NAME="SECTION002210000000000000000">
|
|

|
|
</H1>
|

<P>

|
The B<SMALL>EGIN</SMALL> command requires any number of arguments. Valid
|
|
examples include:
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
<Table Hspace="40%" CellSpacing=0 CellPadding=10 BGColor="OldLace" Border=3>
|
|
<tr><td>
|
|
<B>Begin Drum
|
|
<BR>
|
|
Begin Chord2
|
|
<BR>
|
|
Begin Walk Define </B>
|
|
|
|
</td></tr>
|
|
</Table>
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
Once a B<SMALL>EGIN</SMALL> block has been entered, all subsequent lines have
|
|
the words from the B<SMALL>EGIN</SMALL> command prepended to each line of
|
|
data. There is not much magic here--B<SMALL>EGIN</SMALL>/E<SMALL>ND</SMALL> is really
|
|
just some syntactic sugar.
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
<H1><A NAME="SECTION002220000000000000000">
|
|
End</A>
|
|
</H1>
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
To finish off a B<SMALL>EGIN</SMALL> block, use a single E<SMALL>ND</SMALL> on a line
|
|
by itself.
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
Defining musical data, repeats, or other B<SMALL>EGIN</SMALL>s inside a block
|
|
(other than COMMENT blocks) will not work.
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
Nesting is permitted. Eg:
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
<Table Hspace="40%" CellSpacing=0 CellPadding=10 BGColor="OldLace" Border=3>
|
|
<tr><td>
|
|
<B>Scale Begin
|
|
<BR> Begin Define
|
|
<BR> </B><I>stuff</I><B>
|
|
<BR> End
|
|
<BR> Sequence </B><I>stuff</I><B>
|
|
<BR>
|
|
End </B>
|
|
|
|
</td></tr>
|
|
</Table>
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
A B<SMALL>EGIN</SMALL> must be competed with a E<SMALL>ND</SMALL> before the end of a
|
|
file, otherwise an error will be generated. The U<SMALL>SE</SMALL> and
|
|
I<SMALL>NCLUDE</SMALL> commands are not permitted inside a block.
