Oh yes, we are saying the same thing. Sorry for the comma, I always forget
that. Even in pd sometimes I keep trying to write 0,25 in a number box and
get angry because it doesn't work.
One more thing. How hard it is to make possible for the user to choose
between the random output that you already made and to sort that output from
the smallest to longest duration and vice-versa?
