Week 1 lesson 5 - mini-notation part 3

@yaxu i used the first one, but let me try with v1 now...

@yaxu that v1 part made it work, now I am using 1.6.1, and I have started the course yesterday and so far I am enjoying a lot and your way of teaching and explaining is awesome! I saw you at the digIKAT webinar and came here. Very glad that I got to know about you and tidal cycles!:partying_face:

Ah great, have fun!

Just an idea but wouldn't the draw function be more clear if it marked empty steps with a period? Now it's kinda difficult to see how many empty steps there is in cycle without copy pasting the result and counting with the cursor.

With 5,18 draw gives you:

|x   x   x   x   x

With periods it would be:

|x...x...x...x...x..

EDIT: I see the forum loses the formatting with white spaces. Even more reasons to put the periods in I guess.

Yes I think that does look clearer. Feel free to make the suggestion here and I'll look at it before the next release:

(choosing 'open a blank issue' is probably easiest)

I marked the examples in your post as 'preformatted text' to get the spacing right.

Sure thing!

@yaxu just to let you know: this lesson is (maybe for a good reason?) not linked on the course page on the Tidal homepage: Course I (> 1.6) | Tidal Cycles
