Can't get Maquette Tutorial to work

Hi there! Sorry to bother you but I’m trying to recreate the Maqutte tutorial from Open Music documentation Example 2 : Defining Temporal Relations Between TemporalBoxes

  1. It says
    To create a slots box out of a TemporalBox instance :
  1. Cmd click in a patch editor and type “temporalbox”
  2. validate while keeping SHIFT pressed.

I can create the temporal box but the slots dont happen when I press v while the shift key is depressed

  1. When I evaluate the maquette I get a list of warnings

OM > “Warning – Connecting box NOTE: target input has no box reference.”
OM > “Warning – Connecting box NOTE: target input has no box reference.”
OM > “Warning – Connecting box NOTE: target input has no box reference.”
OM > “Warning – Connecting box NOTE: target input has no box reference.”

OM > “Warning – Connecting box SEQUENCE: target input has no box reference.”
OM > “Warning – Connecting box SEQUENCE: target input has no box reference.”
OM > “Warning – Connecting box SEQUENCE: target input has no box reference.”

  1. Although the notes play in the maquette the starting times of the temporal boxes don’t get adjusted as they are supposed to.

What am I doing wrong?

BTW Is there a way to attach the maquette code to this post somehow?

Thanks

Hi fm42,

Please can you put the link to this mysterious documentation, I am not able to spot it.
If you need something close to this, take a look to the omtutorials (tutorial 33). Here is the really outdated text which comes along:
http://recherche.ircam.fr/equipes/repmus/OpenMusic/user-doc/DocFiles/Tutorial/tut033/Index.html
Now you can of course, either join some screenshots, or export your maquette and send it here. (i hope the upload is working)…

Best

This is the link to the documentation

Here is my attempt:

Ok sorry, didn’t get the subsection…
Well you are nearly there. The error you are making is not using the ‘slot’ box of the temporalbox. You can obtain it by:

  1. calling a temporal box
  2. shift+drag it
    There you will have a slot box of a temporalbox. This is just to set the offset of the temporalbox (second input of the slotbox).
    Here’s a screenshot. Notice the name “slots”:

Thank you very much. I knew it was someting with the slots as I could not see the slots label but I had no idea how to get at it. The documentation is not very acurate on how to achieve this,
Thanks again
