Yes, but I percive new syntax of all calls in PP like this: <container>.<subroutine> (args) where "container" might be command or plugin. and very first dot before command I perceive as script file indication: .<container>.<subroutine> (args) where if dot exist before "container" then this means script file. IMHO it will be more consistent with the "container" syntax than .<container>@<subroutine> (args) which adds nowhere else used @ char > IMHO it would make it less uniform. Of course syntax .<scriptfile> is an abbreviation of runfile.scriptfile command but I see little more inconsistency with special treat of runfile command and ampersand sign than very first dot for indicating script file. > The change you suggest would make it become: > runfile.filename.label(args) > where the first word "runfile" may be left out, in which case it is > implied by the leading dot. I only suggest change ampersand to dot ONLY in short syntax (without word runfile), not in runfile command. > > (it is only necessary to set priorities beetwen scripts and plugins > > so that there is no conflict of filenames) > Plugin calls never start with a dot. Yes, you are right, no conflict at all - I have overlooked this. that's even better! > Personally, I would prefer no change to the current syntax for > [runfile].scriptname My suggestion was adding a alternative syntax, not replace the current. It was only suggestion (maybe even rather question), so if PP community disagree with it there is no problem. BTW An alternative solution to implement this syntax might be adding a definition of custom "scripts label call character" in setup>characters. But I think that this may introduce even more mess.
