The li algorithm

{li val1 val2 duration(s)}

The li is for line. The values given after li will define the departure and arrival points of a straight line. Last element in the list is the duration in number of events or seconds (s)

Values can be:

  1. a real number.
    {li 4.567 10 10s} 
    {li 4 0 30}
    
  2. a Cecilia irate variable. 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.
    {li [blue] [black] 30s} 
    
    where blue and black have been defined as irate variables in the Cecilia interface.
  3. a Cybil function.Any Cybil function can be used to generate a value for the sequencer. Each time the value is needed, the function is evaluated (see functions further).
    {li {ran f .5 3.3} 4 30s}
    
    At computation time, the departure value of the line will be randomly selected between .5 and 3.3. The arrival point will always be 4.
