Lee,
You're just making a simple typo. To get the REPL to switch to the
source file's namespace, you have several options:
1) With the point in the source file, press C-c M-p <ENTER>
2) With the point in the REPL, type ,in <ENTER> overtoneproject.core
<ENTER>
3) With the point in the REPL, type (in-ns 'overtoneproject.core)
Your mistake was to not quote overtoneproject.core, which made the
clojure compiler look up the value of the symbol as a Java class
(which it isn't unless you added a :gen-class to the ns form). By
quoting it, in-ns gets the symbol overtoneproject.core, which is what
it uses to look up namespaces:
clojure.core/in-ns
([name])
Sets *ns* to the namespace named by the symbol, creating it if
needed.
Happy hacking,
~Gary
