Contiguous anything?

Open jwaldmann opened this issue 4 years ago • 0 comments

Reading #760 got me thinking:

Could we extract this "contiguous version of" (a.k.a. gapless) as a function for the Haskell API?

So that euclidGapless x y = gapless $ euclid x y (pure True) or similar.

It seems that this hypothetical gapless can only be applied to sequences, not arbitrary patterns - an instance of https://club.tidalcycles.org/t/accumulation-over-patterns-why-we-cannot-have-it/2706 ?

This indicates to me that Pattern is too abstract for some applications. In Haskell land, we can then use the list type [a] but in mininotation, everything's a pattern, except sometimes it's not ( https://club.tidalcycles.org/t/polymetrics-api-fication/2705 )
