Some issues with named instruments.

[Bernard Hurley]

Hi,

Two issues with named instruments:

        1) It would be nice if the ID of an instrument could be saved to
        the instrument library if it happens to be a name (obviously you
        would not wish to do it for a number)
       
        2) CSound allows you to prepend an instrument name with a + sign
        as in:
                instr +OutputInstr
       
        However this is not consistent with the blue mixer. If you try
        to use the mixer you get errors like:
       
        error:  illegal character +, line 12:
        ga_bluemix_+OutputInstr_0 init 0
          ^
        The problem here is that the "+" is preserved in the generated
        code. It would be nice if this did not happen.
       
Thanks,

Bernard

Hi Bernard,

For number 1, I'm not sure if this is a good idea as it could cause
problems when dragging in multiple copies of the same instrument to a
project.   It seems to me clearer to have it not be a part of the
library as you could have many instruments with the same instr ID or
might import someone else's which has the same instr ID as yours.  If
you feel strongly about it though, put in a request in the request
tracker and I'll revisit it when I can get through the more pressing
issues.

As for issue 2, could you post a bug in the bug tracker for this?
Support for + names was never implemented though it shouldn't take
long to make it behave as you report.

Thanks!
steven
