Hi Stéphane - Tried with the new file and same problem.  Rebooted Opusmodus no luck.  Rebooted the whole system and did an Evaluate All on the new file.  Got this message when it was done:  

"pitch-transpose, transpose: 12 ambitus: piano section: nil exclude: nil
> Error: Not a pitch symbol (q).
> While executing: examine-pitch, in process Listener-1(7).
> Type cmd-. to abort, cmd-\ for a list of available restarts.
> Type :? for other options."
 

Essentially the same problem ...might these "compiler warnings"  I have been seeing all along in the Listener have anything to do with it?

I am wondering if I am not making some really basic beginner error - e.g. when previewing from "ps"  I use the same right-click "Evaluate and Audition and Notation" command as for "def-score"?

(btw I am running OSX 10.12.6 btw on a 6-core 2009 MacPro  - just in case 🙂

 

thanks for your responses

Hi Stephane - I am having a problem in the ;;; INSTRUMENTATION & SECTIONS ASSEMBLY of the "From nothing-Pt2" score.  Whenever I evaluate one of the lines in this section  I get the following error message from the listener: "Error: Not a pitch symbol (q)"  , where (q) could also be (w) or (-q.)  as the first value in any given  evaluated line of that section.   If I try to preview score it shows the same error message.  Have spent some time trying to debug,   any idea what it may be?

thanks!  Peter

Thanks Stephane - this will keep me busy for the next week!

 

best,

 

Peter

 

 

Merci Stephane - super -  comme d'habitude!

Hi Stephane - sorry to miss - major computer crash this morning  😞  Till next week.  Peter

Thanks once again for your generosity, Stephane!  This was once again a very useful presentation - I am starting to feel less intimidated by the process 🙂
