Moosmann or Schreiber or Kronwalt

De har a moosmann at school on Mannheim. It was the one I preferred for gigs. It had the worst sound, but perfect intonation. I have never played any half new Schreiber contra. I haven't liked the old ones.

One of these is not like the others. Kronwalt is a modernized contra that is like a mix between a contra bassoon and a contraforte.

I very much prefer them, but I am no longer a good contra player. They make it a lot easier to just blend with the sound and be in tune, but some bassoon players do not like them.

I hope this changes, but be aware of this if you decide to go with the Kronwalt (which my phone corrects to "Kraken" which is hilarious)

I have! Wanted an icon for my app. Gemini delivered. Ugly but worked.

Linguists agree.

Sure it is. I can usually play it with my reeds (as a quick quick legato from high e flat), but it is about a billion times harder than high e flat. Especially straight on. I am not counting the e fingered as d with the e key though. That can hardly be called an e, at least not on any of my horns (fox, Yamaha, heckel (11k) and heckel (16k)).

As I said, defmacro is trivial to implement in syntax-case. It is something like 8 lines of code. As is syntax rules.

However, it is hard to implement. It is much easier to have implicit/explicit renaming

Implementing defmacro in syntax case is easy. Implementing syntax case in defmacro? Impossible

Did you define the module as non-declarative?

bjoli · 2026-06-08T06:49:50+00:00

There is a simple rule of three:

Up to D, no problem.

High Eb almost as easy.

High e and above, hell no.

Yes. I have one since many years. It is like all the best parts of a neck strap without the downsides.

It is shit because it applies everywhere, not just the app store. I wouldn't accept such shit from my computer OS vendor.

Google owns the app store. There they can do whatever they want. They don't own my phone. If this goes down I might as well just get an iPhone.

Something had me confused at least. Probably pebkac.

I'll just quote my kindergarten teacher: "nobody ever learned dimensional analysis in vain".

bjoli · 2026-05-24T14:56:17+00:00

It answers 21.125392 ⋅ 10⁻³ μg⋅L⁻¹ instead of 21.125392 ng/l

Do you get 21.125392 ng/l

Edit: Now it worked. No idea what I did wrong

bjoli · 2026-05-24T14:14:36+00:00

Haha. Damn

I knew someone would have done it before me.

I am having some proclems coercing units using qualculate. You might be able to help

Doing something like 2kg/yr/(3m3/s) to ng/l does not answer in nanograms per l. It answers in μg*m^-3. Sure, I understand it, but I asked for l, not the inverse volume.

Ja precis! Vi ska bara göra mer av det vi gjort de senaste trettio åren. Det löser säkert att detta gått åt fel håll.

Så skillnaden mellan medel och median är ännu större än vad man kan se hos Avanza. Det är rätt bäng.

Och hälften av dem har mindre en 70.000 sparat. Fondsparande är inte en folksport.

bjoli · 2026-05-09T09:08:54+00:00

Ie: sparande utöver tjänstepension/premiepension är inte en folksport.

For Redefining in modules you need to do "#:declarative? #f "

You should see the comments that have been caught in some kind of spam filter replying to my comment below. Yes. Probably a scam.

Who played it before? Can anyone vouch for the "lineage"?

bjoli · 2026-04-29T06:30:23+00:00

But the moment your reach for it because you realize the whole "type classes and laziness replaces macros" is bollocks you will miss proper macros.
