So I'm pretty new to scripting of any kind. I've done a bit, but this is my first major undertaking. I'm working on a script to do some cool music stuff w/the midi output library i found on this forum.
Anyway, the trouble is this in this snippet of code:
Code:
Octave = 3 ; starting octave is 3 (middle C)
Base = (Octave*12+set) ; our base note is our octave times 12-- so at start, from octave 3, it is 36-- middle C.
TTon = 0 ; third tonality modifier. -1=minor, 0 = major, +1 = augmented
STon = 0 ; seventh tonality modifier. -1 = dim, 0 = dominant, 1 = major
FTon = 0 ; zero = normal, -1 = diminished
Set = 0 ; 0 for set 1, 4 for set 2, 8 for set 3.
;here come the roots
r1 = Base
r2 = (r1+7)
r3 = (r2+7)
r4 = (r3+7)
;now the thirds
t1 = (r1+4+Ton)
t2 = (r2+4+Ton)
t3 = (r3+4+Ton)
t4 = (r4+4+Ton)
;fifths
f1 = (r1+7+Fton)
f2 = (r2+7+Fton)
f3 = (r3+7+Fton)
f4 = (r4+7+Fton)
;sevenths
s1 = (r1+7+3+Ston)
s2 = (r2+7+3+Ston)
s3 = (r3+7+3+Ston)
s4 = (r4+7+3+Ston)
When I set r1 to an actual number directly, like 36 (which is what it should equal by default, or at least thats what I want it to do), then the function later on in the script that is set up to use that variable works properly. However when I set R1 to equal Base, it no longer works, even though, as i understand it, the math I've put in should be giving it 36.
I'm thinking this might have something to do with the %variable% thing, dynamic variables or whatever they are? Not really sure, though. Again, total neophyte. I'll appreciate any input you guys have.
Also, are variables case sensitive?
Thanks a lot, all.
