I'm making some progress with my little In C Xmas project, but
questions keep popping up.

I want to iterate over an array of patterns, but I can't figure out
how to construct a do loop that's doesn't make everyrhing happen at
once:

(
var inC;

inC= Array.newClear(54);



just in case you don't know, arrays in sc are indexed beginning with 0
not 1.
Yes. So I skip 0 and start with 1 for clarity. In fact, there are 53 patterns. 




inC[1] =  Pbind( // pattern1
	\instrument, "fmgen_a_" ++ 35.rand,
	[\midinote,\dur], Pseq([Pseq([[60, 0.1],[64, 0.4]], 3)], {1 +
10.rand})
	);
	
inC[2] = Pbind( // pattern2
	\instrument, "fmgen_a_" ++ 35.rand,
	[\midinote,\dur], Pseq([Pseq([[60, 0.05],[64, 0.245], [65, 0.25],
[64, 0.5]])], {1 + 10.rand})
	);
	
inC[3]= Pbind(
	\instrument, "fmgen_a_" ++ 35.rand,
	[\midinote,\dur], Pseq([Pseq([[\, 0.25],[64, 0.25], [65, 0.25], [64,
0.25]])], {1 + 10.rand})	);  // any symbol is a rest, like \ or
whatever

	

// Pseq([inC[1], inC[2], inC[3]]).play; // This works OK, p[1]1 is
played, finishes, p[2] plays etc.

	inC.do{arg item; item.play} // but how do I do this? The 54 patterns
happen at once,
)



you need to embed your do loop in a Task or Routine.

Task({
	inC.do({ arg item;
		...
		t.wait;
	})	
}).play;
Hm. This means a new approach. The lenght of patterns is decided in the Pbind(...{+10.rand}). the t.wait thing might actually be a good alternative, I have to think this over. 


I tried inserting Pseq somewhere in the do loop, to no avail.

Help much appreciated. I promise I will make a proper microtonal
version in return...



Cheers,
