Strange float format X.XXXF0

Dear you all,
Strange float format: Since updating to OM 6.9 I always get numbers like 8.999F0 or 14.354F0 as output, this is a problem because they also keep this format when I write them in files to disk (to export in MAX for example…)
Thanks for the clarification!

Hi can you be more precise about how you obtain these float numbers output ? this looks like an issue with the default float format for output (single vs. double float)
can you check what is the value of read-default-float-format ?

Thanks for the reply. i always obtain these values for every operation, in listener and in number boxes… I did a print of the variabile and returned “double-float”, It’s still that also after a reinstall of open music.
Thanks!

that’s pretty strange… you can change this with :

(setf read-default-float-format 'single-float)

then single-float will be the default.
