-
CECILIA irate variables. Any irate variable from the CECILIA interface
can be used (sliders, toggles, option) by including the name of the variable
between [] brackets. The substitution is done before the score is
pre-compiled.
{pik [blue] [red] 6 70.9}
where blue and red have been defined as irate variables in
the CECILIA interface.
-
a Cybil function.Any Cybil function can be used to generate a value.
Each time the value is needed, the function is evaluated (see functions
