If you are using the current SVN checkout, analyze.ny is not present.

Variables do not need to be declared before use. A symbol becomes bound just by setting a value for it. For simple values you can just use SET, but the symbol must be quoted so that LISP does not try to evaluate it before it is bound. (set value 3) ; error: unbound variable - VALUE (print (* 2 value...

An "Options" menu provides convenient access to options that a user may frequently change. It is far more convenient than having to go digging in "Edit > Preferences". Examples could include: Amplitude Envelope: Exponential (default) | Linear Show name in track: No (default) | Bl...

I've added code tags and line indentations to the code that you posted making it easier to read. (To add code tags, click on the "Code" button above the message composing box then insert your code between the code tags like this: [code] ... code goes here ... [/code] The code is a "Lo...

The red lines appear when the sample value is equal or greater than 0 dB. 16 bit and 24 bit audio can never be greater than 0 dB, so if the clip lines only appeared above 0 dB, then 16 or 24 bit audio would never show clipping, no matter how badly it was clipped. It is very common for playback devic...

Merely opening Labels Editor selects all the tracks, before you click around in the editor. Stopping the select all would be the first objective. I wouldn't find Steve's idea intuitive without significant improvements to the editor interface. Selecting the label number or column heading currently h...
