If the examples work this time round, you'll hopefully get a better idea - but I'll wager you'll find it even more 'strange'. Cheers, james.

There's some very outdated help and explanations there - but a lot has changed. There's also the command line help just run `./wcnt --help` for an overview. `wcnt -mh` (module help) will give a list of modules, add -v to it to show the same list with an additional short description of each. `wcnt -mh adder` will show help for the adder module. Again, -v will give short information about the inputs and parameters. I've design the output provided for the module (and data-object) help to be copy-and-pasted into a text file - with hopefully obvious changes for the user to make. The verbose module help can get very confusing unfortunately. A case in point is for the adsr which is designed to have a (multi-staged) upper and lower shape which can be modulated by velocity or whatever. This is where the flexibility I mentioned comes into play. It allows you to specify a single shape to save time/typing/verbosity (as well as omit parameters and inputs where not needed). It still looks a bit messy, and you definitely want a lot of terminal real-estate to display it. Multi-choice items are shown with a (Cn) after them, where n is the number of the choice. Mostly a case of choosing one or the other choices. A choice can have multiple items. Group items are shown with a (Gn), where n is simply to seperate one group from another where they follow on from one another. You must either ommit _all_ items in a group or specify all. Optional items are marked (o), and mandatory items marked (*). The adsr can be as simple as: adsr aeg1 envelope section name attack time 15.0 level 1.0 section name decay time 35.0 level 0.8 section name release time 25.0 level 0.0 envelope in_note_on_trig seq1 out_note_on_trig zero_retrigger off sustain_state on in_note_off_trig seq1 out_note_off_trig aeg1 But it might take a while to get that from the verbose module help, and the non-verbose module help doesn't give any indication of that at all. The adsr is one of the more complex modules however. James.
