Title: Verbosity Post by: sciurius on August 05, 2019, 01:44:55 PM When MMA is run with -n, it always reports on successful completion:
Warning: Input file parsed successfully. No midi file generated I think this message is superfluous, since the user explicitly requested to not generate a MIDI file. Failure to parse the input will result in other messages, and a non-zero exit status. Proposal: Remove this message. Alsi I'd like to propose a command line option -q (quiet) to silence some other information messages. In particular Creating new midi file .... Overwriting existing midi file .... (Fun question: can you overwrite a not existing midi file?) Optional proposal: Shorten these messages to Creating 'song.mid' (16 bars, 0:44 m:s) Overwriting 'song.mid' (16 bars, 0:44 m:s) Title: Re: Verbosity Post by: bvdp on August 05, 2019, 04:13:22 PM Give me a few days to think on this. ... just off the top of my head I've sort of tried to keep MMA somewhat "friendly" in its output. And, yes, I know that that sometimes this interferes with being useful.
And, of course, some of the verbosity is just due to laziness. |
