@PauloCereda I once needed three or four attempt for uploading a version of xassoccnt, but I can't remember what I did wrong then. Most likely CTAN was to blame, not me ;-)
@UlrikeFischer “As a german I'm rather used to commas (and other germans too) […]”. No wonder germans are used to other germans, living among them all the time. It's harder for the rest of us. (But we do manage.)
@ChristianHupfer I have occassionally used $(P(1{,}2, 1{,}5)$. But if I need this a lot in a document, I prefer to write it with decimal points and change the mathcode of the period to make it a comma as an ordinary symbol. Then I have to create a command \mathperiod for those few times I really need a period, or use \text{.} instead.
Um, didn't read through the rest of the thread. Sorry for the repetition.
@egreg Ah, the siunitx package … I have been rolling my own, since stuff like \si{\kilogram\metre\per\second} rubs me the wrong way (too verbose). But actually looking at the documentation, I realize that I don't have to use it that way! Which means that reading documentation does not always lead to disaster.
@JosephWright Either one is fine with me. The dumb thing is, I had been reading messages about how wonderful siunitx is, always giving the verbose method as example. And so I thought, why bother? So I ended up writing stuff like `$9.8\,\mathrm{m\,s^{-2}}$ instead. I should have taken a closer look, that is all.
(But in my defence, being a mathematician and not a physicist, I don't need SI units all that often.)
@HaraldHanche-Olsen The more verbose input has clear semantic meaning, which is the advantage from a 'programming' POV, though as you observe is not to everyone's taste
@JosephWright Well, there's \cs_set:Nn and family. I really don't understand why somebody wants to confuse functions with variables, their distinction being one of the strong points in expl3
@egreg I think the idea is for example \cs_set_eq:NN \__module_funct_arg:w #3 then to use \__module_funct_arg:w rather than #3 (so presumably to avoid having to pass parameters between functions, at the cost of relying on the scope of the defined name)
@egreg " Do you have examples of languages where functions are declared before their action being defined?" several languages to be honest, any functional language treats functions as values (in a suitable type) and can be declared and stored in variables just as scalar values can
5 MWEs and some days later, and I still don't really understand how to make a Command both use/output its own arguments as well as one argument from an encompassing Environment ... tex.stackexchange.com/questions/395241/…
@egreg no but you can model that mindset in tex if you want \def\foo_l{} ... \def\foo_l{\section} (or \let\foo_l\section ) could be a variable holding a function if you want to view it that way (not saying you should, but you could)
@DavidCarlisle One could allow for not declaring variables if you always have to use an accessor: it could 'fill in' on-the-fly for missing values. Performance would be dire though ...
@UlrikeFischer I guess I'll need to think about it: will try to solve today
@DavidCarlisle Meanwhile, I've been navigating xcolor and the PostScript ref. to understand colour space conversion ... much easier with an FPU than using all of those auxiliaries xcolor needs :)
@egreg I plan to add something to the SVN this week (in l3trial), then aim to merge into existing l3color for the code level. Once I sort image inclusion, the two might make xgraphics :)
@egreg Other than a few edge cases, there is no new functionality of course: it's just a question of bringing things into one place
@JosephWright can you look at the comments here I'm happy to vote to re-open if Peter wants to make a memoir answer but the main question seems to be word for word duplicate ... tex.stackexchange.com/q/395319/1090
@PauloCereda This seems to be a guy from my hometown. youtube.com/watch?v=3ZNJXOJrTFs Maybe only @ChristianHupfer and @UlrikeFischer and @TeXnician etc. might understand.
I tried that and got to line 83 where I use a math thing: \({I}\Leftrightarrow{i}\) and the complier stopped with Segmentation fault: 11. — Buschmann16 mins ago

displaces the non-\textit{ic5} pitches in a triad, i.e moves the third between minor and major. For the sake of examples, we assume the first chord in the transformation is $I$; ergo, in Schenkerian terms it would look like this: ${I}\Leftrightarrow{i}$.

Hello! I'm trying to create a set of co-ordinates in the form <x,y,z>, and since there may be fractions, I would like to use \left and \right with \textless and \textgreater. Is there a question someone could point me to? Thanks!
@DavidCarlisle ah, an error on my part - I tried to do <x,y,z> originally, which didn't work because of the spacing, so I assumed \left< and \right> wouldn't work either
