"#" red highlighting #24

Closed ovitus closed 5 years ago

ovitus commented 5 years ago

Why is it that the hash symbol (#) causes the line to be highlighted red? This only happens with .tidal files. red

I've seen this before. Apparently, the default syntax highlighting that Vim provides for Haskell files does not like lines starting with the # operator (even if it's valid Haskell in this case). As a workaround, you can try installing this third party plugin for Haskell. If you're using Plug, add this to your .vimrc (in your plugins section):

Plug 'neovimhaskell/haskell-vim'

Then restart Vim and call :PlugInstall. This fixes the red highlighting problem.

I'll keep this issue open so I can figure out what's causing it and patch it here.

I've fixed this by including the haskell syntax file as "tidal" syntax file. Also fixed how it highlighted new lines starting with a #, as they were highlighted as Haskell preprocessing macros:

You can just upgrade the plugin with :PlugUpdate to get the latest fix.

I updated, highlights are gone, but nothing works when I use the hash below the primary pattern, it has no effect. For instance:

d1 $ n "[-3 6 1] 4" # s "midi" # sustain "0.1"

will sustain notes 0.1

d1 $ n "[-3 6 1] 4" # s "midi"
# sustain "0.1"

sustain ignored
