WHEN MUSCOM DETECTS AN ERROR, IT TYPES OUT THE ENTIRE
|
||
MEASURE IN WHICH THE ERROR OCCURS (MEASURES BEING
|
||
SEPARATED BY SLASHES), PRECEDED, IF IT IS THE FIRST
|
||
ERROR FOUND IN A GIVEN VOICE, BY A COLORFUL MESSAGE.
|
||
IF ONE WORD IN PARTICULAR IS ERRONEOUS, IT WILL
|
||
BE SURROUNDED BY < > BRACKETS IN THE PRINTOUT.
|
||
|
||
THREE-LETTER ERROR CODES (GENERATED IN PHASE ONE):
|
||
|
||
TMF TOO MANY FIELDS
|
||
A NUMBER, A COMMA, AND THE LETTER R ARE FIELDS.
|
||
A NOTE SHOULD HAVE A MAXIMUM OF TWO FIELDS.
|
||
TFF TOO FEW FIELDS
|

A MEANINGLESS LETTER OR OTHER CHARACTER WAS
|
||
FOUND IN A NOTE.

A NUMBER APPEARED THAT DOES NOT AGREE WITH THE
|

PROGRAM'S CURRENT MEASURE NUMBER. MAYBE YOU
|
||
FORGOT TO END YOUR TITLE WITH A SLASH.
|
||
|
||
AGM ARGUMENT GREEDILY MASTICATES
|
||
A NUMBER WAS EXPECTED AND DELICIOUS GARBAGE FOUND.
|
||
DTU DOT UNDERFLOW
|
||
TOO MANY DOTS AND X'S IN A NOTE CAUSED THE VALUE
|
||
OF DOT TO FALL BELOW 1/64 NOTE.
|
||
NOR NATURAL OVERRIDES
|
||
WHEN ) OR = APPEARS IN THE SAME NOTE WITH ( + OR - .
|

PRS 12/17/69 03:19:43 TEXT MAY NOW BE INCLUDED IN THE "ENGLISH"
|
||
OF A PIECE OF MUSIC. AT THE END OF EACH
|
||
VOCAL LINE, INSTEAD OF "END" HAVE THE
|
||
COMMAND "TEXT" FOLLOWED BY A SPACE FOLLOWED
|
||
BY THE TEXT. SLASHES ARE IGNORED. HOWEVER,
|
||
YOU MUST PUT A SLASH WITHIN ABOUT 80.
|
||
CHARACTERS AFTER THE "TEXT" TO FOOL THE
|
||
INPUT ROUTINE. END YOUR TEXT FOR A GIVEN VOICE
|
||
WITH A BACKSLASH.
|
||
|
||
FOR A POLYSYLLABIC WORD, PUT
|
||
HYPHENS BETWEEN SYLLABLES. IF A
|
||
SYLLABLE IS HELD OVER A PLURALITY OF NOTES,
|
||
FOLLOWED BY ANOTHER SYLLABLE IN THE SAME
|
||
WORD, N+1 HYPHENS WILL HOLD THE FIRST
|
||
SYLLABLE OVER N NOTES. IF THE LAST SYLLABLE
|
||
OF A WORD IS HELD OVER A TOTAL OF N NOTES,
|
||
FOLLOW IT IN THE TEXT BY N-1 UNDERLINES.
|
||
EQUAL SIGN MAY BE USED INSTEAD OF UNDERLINE
|
||
AND IN FACT IS RECOMMENDED.
|
||
|
||
THE -1DOLLARS FEATURE OF TECO ENABLES YOU TO
|
||
ENTER THE TEXT IN BOTH UPPER AND LOWER CASE.
|
||
ASK A SYSTEM HACKER FOR DETAILS. WARNING:
|
||
LIKE UPPER CASE LETTERS, BACKSLASH (TO END THE
|
||
TEXT) MUST BE "QUOTED" WITH A SLASH, AS
|
||
MUST SLASH ITSELF. TO GET THE TEXT OUT ON
|
||
THE PLOTTER WITH BIG (THIS BEING CURRENTLY THE
|
||
ONLY USE OF THE TEXT) REMEMBER THAT YOUR
|
||
MUSCOM COMPILATION COMMAND STRING MUST
|
||
CONTAIN A CONTROL-T . GOOD LUCK.
|
||
|
||
P.S. THERE'S A TINY BUG WHICH I'LL FIX SOME
|
||
DAY WHOSE EFFECT IS TO LOSE THE FIRST FEW
|
||
CHARACTERS OF THE TITLE OF A VOICE AFTER ONE
|
||
WITH TEXT.

THE PHRASE "TIME 3 4" SHOULD BE
|
||
USED IN PREFERENCE TO "UNITS 24" ETC. OLD
|
||
MUSIC ENGLISHES ARE SLOWLY BEING CHANGED
|
||
IN THIS WAY. A PIECE WITH "TIME" INSTEAD
|
||
OF "UNITS" MAY BE OUTPUT IN STRUCTURED FORM
|
||
INSTEAD OF THE NORMAL UNSTRUCTURED FORM BY
|
||
INCLUDING A CONTROL-T ANYWHERE IN THE MUSCOM
|
||
COMMAND STRING.
