Re: [Audacity-nyquist] [Audacity-quality] Floating point input from slider widget

[Roger D. <rb...@cs...>]

  hi, I avoided the list to reduce confusing people, but I don't 
understand your suggestion below. There are certainly cases where one 
would want to pass an int to a Nyquist function, so converting all ints 
to floats doesn't sound wise. Allowing and parsing "float" as equivalent 
to "real" and making sure that real values get passed into Nyquist as 
reals (with decimal points) sounds like a good idea.
