Re: [sc-users] Silly Question Probably....

Thanks a lot James! I guess this can work...however, I seem to be
missing an important step in being able to have the selection process
loop after the pedal is pressed until it picks something different
from what's in the ordered set. By setting up an if sequence, I can do
it once:

c = [ ["fast", "slow"], ["loud", "soft"], ["Page 1", "Page 2" ] ];
b = Set.new;
x = c.choose;
b.add(x);
x.choose.postln;
y = c.choose;

if(b.includes(y), {y = c.choose}, {y.choose.postln;});

This runs the risk of picking the same command twice. I can't seem to
find much help with loop or routines.

Thanks again!
Cliff
