SynthMaker

a "non greedy" option for the parser

would be nice if the cpars module would optionally be able to use non greedy matching.

example:

if you apply the ruleset:

(.*)(a text)(.*)

to the string "that is a text, at least it looks like one" it would be parsed as

(that is a text, at least it looks like one)()() from a greedy parser and as

(that is )(a text)(, at least it looks like one) from a non greedy one.

That way many things can be expressed much simpler.

    It goes on the track you’re editing there, in place of that track’s sound, and into My sounds. Your other tracks stay as they are.

    Want to keep that track’s sound? Start a new song in SynthMaker first (Song › New song), then open this.
