Fomus

FOMUS also provides several functions that are wrappers to the first method described above. They create and store the objects internally so the user doesn't have to maintain lists of objects and data. The functions are:

(fomus-init &key setting value ...)

(fomus-newpart partid &key slot value ...)

(fomus-newtimesig partids &key slot value ...)

(fomus-newnote partid &key slot value ...)

(fomus-newrest partid &key slot value ...)

(fomus-newmark partid &key slot value ...)

(fomus-exec &key setting value ...)

The user first calls fomus-init, which initializes settings and insures that FOMUS is ready to accept new data. Setting values may be passed to this function in exactly the same way as the fomus function above, though it isn't necessary in this case to include global, parts or events. the functions fomus-newpart, fomus-newtimesig, fomus-newnote, fomus-newrest and fomus-newmark are then used to create and store all of the objects that are normally included in the global, parts and events settings. The required partid or partids arguments correspond directly to the slots of the corresponding objects (see the documentation for each of these in Objects for more information). The partid argument to fomus-newpartm must be unique or objects that use them to refer to parts will refer to more than one. The slot keywords can be any of the constructor slot keywords in the corresponding object, and the value argument is the appropriate value for that slot. Internally, FOMUS stores all TIMESIG objects in the GLOBAL setting list, all PART objects in the PARTS list and all other objects (NOTE, REST and MARK) in the EVENTS list. This means that the user may specify NIL or a list of part IDs in the PARTID/PARTIDS slots of TIMESIG and MARK objects. When the user is finished calling the FOMUS-NEW functions, the last thing to do is call FOMUS-EXEC. This again accepts setting keywords and values (overriding any previous setting values) and passes all information to the fomus function which does the rest of the processing. After FOMUS-EXEC is called, all internal data is reinitialized as if FOMUS-INIT were called with no arguments.

Following are the interface 2 equivalents to some of the examples above:
