Before You Use

Directions for Installation

Download the package on Pulsar. This can be done installing the package through the packages menu on the Pulsar application or running pulsar -p install tidal-sharp in your terminal.

Alternatively...

  1. Clone the repo
  2. (Most likey): need to run npm install in the project folder.
  3. In the project folder, run apm link -d. This adds a symlink to this package in the ~/.atom/dev/packages directory. For Pulsar, this is ppm link -d. If Pulsar's ppm command isn't working, you can manulaly create a symlink. On a mac, this is: ln -s <cloned_repo_path> ~/Users/<user>/.pulsar/dev/packages/sharp. NOTE: You can also just clone the repo to this directory and skip the sym-link altogether, if you want.
  4. In the command line, run atom -d to use the packages in the dev directory. You should see 'sharp' in the Packages menu now. Alternatively, in the Atom/Pulsar menu, click view > developer > open in dev mode

Running SHARP

  1. Run SHARP by either using the Packages menu and choosing SHARP > Activate SHARP or by using the keyboard shortcut: ctrl+alt+x
  2. Run one block of code with the TidalCycles keyboard shortcut ctrl+enter (or cmd+enter). Note that SHARP will not run alongside TidalCycles if you choose the TidalCycles Eval commands from the Packages drop-down. You must use the keyboard shortcuts if you want both to run together.
  1. You can choose whether or not to allow duplicate code entries in the state-history tree SHARP creates for you by going to the Packages drop-down menu and choosing SHARP > Allow/Disallow unique nodes in graphs or by using the keyboard shortcut ctrl+alt+u.
  2. After making changes, you can close the package with Packages > SHARP > Quit SHARP (the keyboard shortcut for this is ctrl + opt + cmd + q). You will be asked to save your history into a file if you do this with an unsaved SHARP history. You can also save to a file manually with Packages > SHARP > Dump History to File... (or ctrl + opt + cmd + s).
