Hello All

1) bar-related methods aren't documented in the helpfile:

bar, nextBar, baseBar and baseBarBeat

Is anyone planning to do these for 3.2?

If not, am happy to oblige.

Go ahead :)

2) A method to return what beat of the current bar

we're in could be useful for old-fashioned conductor-type counting

See below, Opinions on this?

// returns the beat number of the current bar

// ie range is 0 to (t.beatsPerBar - 1)

+ TempoClock {

beatInBar { ^this.beats - this.bars2beats(this.bar) }

}

Sounds reasonable to me.

The range will really be 0 <= beatInBar < beatsPerBar. If beatsPerBar == 4, you can still have something happen at 3.9999 within the bar, but it properly belongs to the bar that started 3.9999 beats ago.
