Interesting feature request! I’ll add it to the list.
Yep — I tend to do this similarly, by simply commenting and uncommenting the rule to see what gets highlighted. It might be nice to have a more formalised way of doing this but it’s not a priority.
For this, I'm assuming your high tone vowels are in a category called +high and low tone in one called -high, and a syllable structure of (C)V. It obviously doesn't matter but it allows me to test and give valid rules to you in the simplist formst possible¹.DorotheaBrooke wrote: ↑Tue Sep 16, 2025 12:21 pm Quick question - I don't have any real programming experience and had a little trouble figuring out how to do this from the documentation (partly because I have a cold.) I'm working on a series on sound changes for one of the Kuzitic branches which sees a two tone system develop into a pitch accent system, so I need changes that can do things like "turn all but the rightmost high tones in the word into low tones" or "turn the rightmost syllable in a word with only low toned syllables into a high tone." Where would I get started doing something like that?
Code: Select all
extra k
categories
-high = a
+high = á
V = &&high
auto -high
end
+high / -high / _ ^+high
-rtl -high / +high / _ # // ^+high _
Use Hoogle to search for functions in Haskell libraries, and any code search tool (I like ripgrep) to find functions within Brassica. Or you could set up HLS and use its ‘jump to definition’ functionality. (You should really set up HLS anyway, if you want to do Haskell development.)
I got some spare time and felt like programming today, so I had a go at implementing this. It was actually pretty easy!
No, I only committed the code, sorry. No idea when the next release will be.
And now this is implemented!
I haven't tried it yet¹, but I find live mode on the web is unusable, because it takes too long to work, so it's highly likely to be an improvement to live mode overall, even if the window does get out of sync sometimes.bradrn wrote: ↑Wed Oct 29, 2025 8:39 am A request for help… I’ve made some changes to the online version which should hopefully make it feel snappier, but it comes at the cost of the output pane sometimes getting briefly out of sync in live mode. I don‘t use the web version regularly, so it’s hard for me to judge whether it’s worth it or not. I know other people here do use it, though, so could you test it and let me know what you think? I’ve uploaded the prerelease at https://bradrn.com/brassica-1.1.0alpha/.
Good to know, thanks! It’s not actually faster, it just feels faster since it avoids freezing up the entire UI on every application.
Running it right-to-left should do it: try -rtl C r → \.Darren wrote: ↑Sat Nov 08, 2025 2:10 pm Is there a way of making rules recursive (can take output as another input)? I've got the rule C r → \ which turns e.g. apriku → arpiku, but I'd like it to do fasmra → farsma as well, not *fasrma. I can just double the rule but feels like there might be a more efficient way of doing it.
Whoops, I’d better fix that syntax highlighting — thanks!Inversely, I've got a stress shift rule which moves stress one syllable to the right, but that won't stop moving it all the way to the final syllable unless I use -no as a tag. Which is fine, only (this really is a minor point) -no doesn't go green like the other tags.
No! You beat me¹!

If the lack of highlighting annoys you, I think -1 and -rtl would do until it's fixed, although I'm away from my computer and the website wasn't working for me just now, so I haven't tested it.Darren wrote: Inversely, I've got a stress shift rule which moves stress one syllable to the right, but that won't stop moving it all the way to the final syllable unless I use -no as a tag.
Er, not a clue… I’ll look into it when I get time.
