I'm getting back into Yoshimi, as the sequencer now is roughly stable for
awhile, and I really need to start using it heavily. I notice that the
command-line help functionality is now very minimal.
Is there any way you can create a "Command set" text file to list
the commands? Also summarize the "levels"?
I'll probably need a bit of help rewriting the rest of the manual as well.
No hurry, I am just starting on plowing ("ploughing"?) through the
txt files.
I like the prompt system, very helpful.

Now we seem to be in the clear (hopefully) there is a small adjustment I made
to the CLI recently.
The 'paths' command no longer exists. Instead we have 'add' & 'remove', so
instead of 'path add' it's 'add root'. Also you can now add and remove banks
using the same structure. 'paths show' has now been moved into lists as 'list
roots'.
These changes make roots/banks/instruments more consistent.
However, at the moment it requires a full path to be used, and doesn't offer to
create it. There are a few other places in the code where this happens, so what
I'm considering is a new function in MiscFuncs that will build up the directory
structure as required. Also, I'll probably arrange it so that if you don't put
a leading '/' on the search string it will assume '/home/{user}/'.
Something I'm less sure about is whether we should make 'banks' compulsory for
the last part of a root path. It has been optional up to now, although everyone
seems to accept it as the norm. If it is compulsory it actually simplifies some
of the code and makes it more regular.
In any case, I won't do this before the new release - too tempting for Murphy to
throw in a bug or two!
