Hello everyone.  I have a couple of recommendations for the manual.

Opcodes such as event and schedule do not accept strings as p-fields. This
is not mentioned in the manual, and should be.

In the case that users need to generate events that use strings in p-fields,
it would be nice if the event/schedule manual pages made a note about and
linked to the scoreline opcodes.

Best,
Jake

Thanks,
I've added this and cross referencing between these opcodes. There's
this statement in the entry for schedwhen:

Support for named instruments is broken in version 4.23

Can you confirm if it is still broken?

Cheers,
Andrés

Just tested this out.  As far as I can tell, it's still broken.

I tested by modifying the manual example schedwhen.csd. I first substituted
'instr 2' with 'instr Foo' and it ran successfully.  Then I substituted
'schedwhen ktrigger, 2, kwhen, kdur' for 'schedwhen ktrigger, "Foo", kwhen,
kdur'.  It spit out this message to the console:

	instr	1	
error:  input arg '"Foo"' of type string not allowed when expecting k, line
26:
  schedwhen ktrigger, "Foo", kwhen, kdur
	instr	Foo	
instr Foo uses instrument number 2
1 syntax errors in orchestra.  compilation invalid

Best,
Jake
