a typo or inconsistency in helpfile for gen-def


Recommended Posts

a minor correction suggested... I know this is fairly basic, but it made a beginner like me do a double take...

this is the helpfile:

Quote

gen-repeat number sequence &key section

 

[Function]

 

Arguments and Values:

 

number            an integer.

sequence            a list or atom.

section            a list of integers (sublists to process).

 

Description:

 

This function returns any number of repeats of a list or atom.

 

but further down it says...

 

Quote

If size is a list then each list is repeat individualy.

 

(gen-repeat '(3) '((c4 g4) (c4 a4)))

=> ((c4 g4 c4 g4 c4 g4) (c4 a4 c4 a4 c4 a4))

 

yet 'size' (which is in the type for a &key) is not a valid keyword, it refers to 'number'...

 

thought it may help others... must be a nightmare keeping all help-files consistent, my sympathies!

 

best,

Julio
