Could someone tell me if there is any way to access the up&down, down&up arpeggiator patterns? Escaping the & perhaps. It gives me a parser error. and if I &, the pattern parses, but I think it parses as updown or downup. Thanks!
Indeed. You mean this?
tidal> d1 $ n (arp "up&down" "c'maj7") # s "superpiano"
Error in pattern: Syntax error in sequence:
"up&down"
^
unexpected '&'
expecting charnum, rest, "[", "{", "<", "^", ".", "?" or end of input
looks like a bug to me, as the reference doc suggests that it should work Harmony & Melody | Tidal Cycles
A work-around is to call the _arp function directly
tidal> d1 $ n (_arp "up&down" "c'maj7") # s "superpiano"
but then you can't pattern its argument.

Yes. That is the error.
From emacs, it worked for me by escaping the & like this:
d1 $ n (arp "up\&down" "c'maj7") # s "superpiano"
