Greetings,

I'm working with the latest Cabbage and Csound (6.09 from git), and I'm 
running into a problem with any instrument/effect that uses this code :

     if i(kpreset)==$N then

(from Iain McCurdy's Micropolyphony, line 441).

Csound throws this error message :

     Error: character $(24)

That's all I have, hopefully someone knows where to look to find the 
fix. Iain suggested commenting out the offending code in his instrument, 
that works (no error reported), but it removes access to his excellent 
presets. :(

Best,

dp

Macros are in a stage of change in the develop code, so don’t expect them to be working fully at the moment.

Cannot reproduce.  Could I have a complete csd with the error?

Hi John,

I've attached Iain's Micropolyphony CSD from the Cabbage Examples 
directory. Running it so :

csound Micropolyphony.csd

results in this error :

Error: character $(24)

error: syntax error, unexpected ERROR_TOKEN  (token "$") from file 
Micropolyphony.csd (1)
  line 1:
 >>>kpreset)==$ <<<

I have a similar problem lately, and I've found that. if I delete and retype whatever character the $ is standing in for, it will tgen run without any errors. I figured maybe it had something to do with how different OS handle text, though I was under the impression that that was largely taken care of now.

Whoops, I guess i meant a question mark, not dollar sign, but sometimes it seems to be other symbols or numbers, maybe?

Hi Dave, I just tried here with the very latest dev tip and it's no longer producing that error I was seeing before. It's strange that you are still getting an error. No sure what's going on.
