reading-list-by-steps

the "STEP-TO"-idea could be used more common... with other parameters...welcome to extend/develop it...

for mulidimensional/multiparametrical rnd-walks (first example)? :-)

;;; FUNCTION -> same as  step-to-pitch

(defun reading-list-by-steps (&key steps values start)
  (let ((pos (car (position-item start values))))
    (append (list (nth pos values))
            (loop for i in steps
              do (setf pos (+ pos i))
              when (> pos (length values))
              do (setf pos (+ 0 i))
              collect (nth pos values)))))
