[Dissco-list] updates

[Sever T. <s-...@ui...>]

Hi guys,

Alok, John L. and I put in more hours yesterday afternoon.  At the end, 
John and I thought we would ask John S. to fix the functions that create 
envelopes on the fly but I discovered that Chris already dealt with that. 
Still, would you John, take another look and make sure they will work with 
the rest of the code as we have it now (Chris worked on it a while ago) ? 
They are in utility.cpp as a group nowadays but I am confused: are they 
part of the Envelope class in LASS or are we back to the old utility idea 
?  Chris might be able to enlighten us.  Anyway, in the old code there 
were (in utility.cpp) 4 functions that dealt with creating envelopes on 
the fly:

 	SelectEnvType
 	MakeEnvelope
 	SegmentBuilder  and
 	FitEnvelope	(actually, relates to the library envs)

John L. is working hard on the bottom.cpp and on the note class.  The 
other question is if the pattern is up to date, so John might want to 
decide on that and ask someone else to take another look.  I will work on 
creating files to be tested as soon as I receive instructions about their 
format.

Our "official" final date is Wednesday May 10, 1:30-4:30 and I believe we 
decided to also meet this Monday at the usual time.  I realize you have 
other exams to worry about but if we do not finalize this project now 
(which is if it does not work with a variety of files) it will practically 
mean that we waisted your time this semester.  People who will come to 
work on it in the future will take some time to just figure out what you 
did and they might not be as able as you guys.  So, it makes sense to try 
to come up with a finished product by next Wednesday.

Thanks for your hard work, patience, and knowledge.  I do appreciate the 
time that you all already put into this project.

 				Sever

[John L. (UIUC) <lou...@ui...>]

Just so you know, here's what I got done:
 - fixed parameters to define bottom, sound, and note events
 - added everything to parser
 - Also, I changed Alok's fix to ValuePick, because it needs to take 
more parameters. (Sieve can no longer be called with only 2 args.)

Left to do for Monday:
 - Note::Print (basically this is the way notes get "rendered", they're 
just printed out somehow for now. Later this should be replaced with 
LilyPond integration or something.)
 - Finish rendering sounds in buildScore. This should amount to just 
doing the modifiers.
 - Fix BuildSubEvents so that if required stuff for building children 
isn't there, it just exits and doesn't build any children. This way we 
will support having "leaf nodes". Normally sound events will work this 
way. They will have sound information but nothing else. In this case, 
just don't do any subevents.


I'll take a look at Patter later and get back to you guys with more info 
on that. Let me know if I forgot anything.

 - John
