Hello All,
i have some ftgen tables in orchestra (numbered with 0),
and i would like to pass the number of the table in score.
But, because the tables numbers are automatically assigned i don't know this
number.
Then how can i know this number?

My instrument read the table using table opcode, and this accept only the
number
of the table.
Passing a string in score with the name (global) of table do not work.

How can i do?

Sorry if stupid, i am a little bit confused.
Thanks,
ciao,
francesco.

I don't think that will be possible, because the score is sorted  
before performance, before the table numbers are assigned.
The only way this would work is to have an instrument issue events  
(with 'event', 'scoreline', etc.) from the orchestra.

Could the instrument be adapted to read a table number from zak space using zir, or from a table using tab_i? In that case you could store the generated number using ziw or tableiw.

But maybe on the other hand, come to think of it, it is as easy to use specific table numbers in ftgen as it is to store the number in a specific place.

i would like to don't use numbers because i have too many tables,
but there is no other (easy) way. Then i will use numbers.

There is a limit in ftable numbers?

Thanks,
ciao,
francesco.

No real limit except memory

if you have a statement like
giTab1 ftgen 0, ...
you can access this table with the table opcode via the giTab1 variable:
... table ..., giTab1

or if you need to select, you can use 1, 2, ... instead of 0 in the
ftgen statement, as justin said.

(but maybe i misunderstood your problem ...)

i would have to pass giTable but in the score,
like: i 1 0 1 "giTable"
but this seems no possible, like Mr Victor well explain.

I think that i need to use numbered tables. Not a real problem ... only
having many tables and for many different use i would like to use name
instead of numbers.

But probably i have not well focused yet my work
(as often i misunderstood myself).

Thanks All,
ciao,
francesco.

I think using macros might work for your situation. This way you get
both the full (or nearly full) functionality of numbered tables with
the ease of use of an identifier.

The only issue is that you'll have to declare the macros twice; Once
in the score and once in the orchestra. Or you could define your
tables in a separate file, and include that file in both the score and
orchestra.

Here's an example:

Create a file with the macros nd include in both orc and sco -- the syntax
is the same

Graphane, the Python library that I wrote to generate scores, might 
help. It has some sort of ftgen for scores. From the manual:

"The function ftgen is similar to the opcode with the same name, except 
that it will create an f-
statement in the score. Its arguments are the same as the opcode, except 
that the arguments after the
GEN argument are in a list. If the table number is 0, it will use a free 
number and mark the number as
used, so it is not used again. Its return value is the table number. 
This is very useful if you have a lot of
instruments that have a table number as an argument.

    ft = ftgen(0, 0, 1024, 10, [1, 2])
    score = [ (1, 0, 3, 100, ft) ]
    WriteScore('myscore.sco', score)

will create a file called myscore.sco with the score

    f1 0 1024 10 1 2
    i1 0 3 100 1

This allows you to create function tables in a loop and store the 
function tables in an array, which can be
a powerful technique."

The disadvantage is that the code in the .orc file doesn't know the 
numbers (except through p-fields from the score).

You can download Graphane at 
. I've been working on a 
newer version, but the new features are too buggy to release now.
