List of Commands?

Hi!
I am brand new to Tidal and am working through the video tutorials, and the workshop examples. I'm wondering if there is a big ol' list of the commands available somewhere. I can't seem to find one or reference to one. Thanks, This is really amazing and a lot of fun!

ah yes! thank you so much! I feel like this should be easier to find for newbies though?

This is the ultimate source of truth: documentation embedded in/derived from the source code
( Sound.Tidal.UI and other modules)

in particular, the index ( tidal-1.9.3: Pattern language for improvised music (Index) ) gives a list of all functions, altough cumbersome to browse (if you don't know what you're looking for, then you don't know the first letter)

I made an index linking into the TidalCycles documentation, because I needed one for myself. Hope it is useful for others, too.

In short, yes - There is a pending pull request from mindofmathew that does a full reference. I'm not sure where this sits in the grand scheme of things since there is also a lot of work being done in a docs update as well.

The only downside is that the list of functions is extremely large and unwieldy, so navigating through the existing documented functions should keep a newbie sorted for a significant time
