Thanks for the help so far, I think I'm starting to get a hang of the
syntax.

I think I need to state my goal more clearly.

Instead of writing a long list of initializations like so:

A = [ ]
B = [ ]
...
Y = [ ]
Z = [ ]

I'd like to save space by more elegantly turning this into a loop. If I
need to just write it out, I guess that's ok... but it would be much
cleaner. I'm a composer, not a programmer, so some of this is quite above
me.


So, are these variables supposed to be module-level, or attributes of
class pitchAndRhythm, or what?
Also, are you going to use the variables normally or are you going to
need "variable variables" (e.g. like $$var in PHP, which gives the
value of the variable with the name of the string stored in $var)?

Cheers,
Chris

The're going to only be part of the pitchAndRhythm class. Simply put, I just need enough arrays to hold a list of pitches/rhythms. Then I'll have each list member returned to an instrument defined in another module.

As I'm hacking away at the code, I'm realizing that maybe I can do this with just and A = [] and B = []. But I'm not sure...

Thanks again.
