[Pd] Stack Overflow

[Chuckk Hubbard]

I get this all the time.  It's a real problem, because in a longer
score it usually means the first half of the score has had all its
notes changed to a new reference pitch and the second half hasn't, and
there's no way back from that but to reload the piece.

I have a "JInext" abstraction I made, which takes a bang or a next
message, and finds the next $1 scalar in pd-score.  Because I have a
vertical line on each beat, and octave marking lines, and tempo
markers, plus notes, it has to skip past a lot of other templates.  I
put an internal delay in it, so that every 10 times it goes, it waits
10 ms.  I've adjusted this to be slower and slower as I've written
longer scores, but I still get stack overflow from the "next" message
that retriggers it.

Can anyone explain more about what exactly "stack overflow" is?  Might
it help if I just put a 1 ms delay for each scalar?

Thanks.
