I like the automatic variable name generator. Since the intent of NCODE is to facilitate exploring musical ideas quickly in an interactive interface, would it make sense to facilitate adding existing variables to new functions? Either drag and drop, point and click, or drop down list, or similar.

Contextual variable insertion (Function and Argument fields)

To reuse existing history variables while composing a new function call, NCODE provides a contextual insertion menu in the Function and Argument fields.

• How to use: right-click inside the Function field or an argument field to open a contextual menu of available history variables.

• Insert behaviour: selecting a variable inserts its name at the current caret position. The existing field text is preserved (it is not replaced).

• Purpose: this supports rapid reuse of previously computed materials without recalling (loading) the variable’s originating function.

• Notes: insertion is purely textual. It does not evaluate the function and it does not alter the history selection.
