Re: [Audacity-devel] Vocoder, Nyquist, decimals and commas

[David R. S. <dav...@sh...>]

Hi Edgar,

Thanks for your bad feedback - Markus had fixed the comma problem at least 
twice if I remember correctly, I'm cc-ing this to the devel list. 1.3.9 is 
coming out soon so I don't anticipate a response quickly, but I don't see 
why periods and commas cannot be interchangeable in Nyquist regardless of 
which side of the Atlantic the user is on! And make this a _permanent_ fix so
that it cannot be changed back as it has been at least twice. As I 
understand it, commas used as decimals are _always_ directly between two 
digits, no space on either side, so it cannot possibly be confused with a 
function or another argument, correct? - for XLISP/Nyquist that is.

As for the Audacity user who'd asked the original question, I put together 
a single-channel envelope follower plug-in as he couldn't use the vocoder 
as he wished, he hasn't responded yet how the follower works as he wanted.

Thanks anyways

David
