Back into supercollider after 2 year hiatus , still beginners level having fun with a few lines of code .
I wonder why the following code is not executed when there is space before the first parenthesis

//////////
(///plays correctly

	SinOsc.ar(220)*0.25!2;
}.play

///////////////////
    (///doesn't play becasue of space before parenthese

IIRC the IDE’s tokenizer recognizes “region” brackets based on their position at the start of a line (no whitespace).

FWIW I think it’s good if region delimiters are required to be in a consistent place.

This, btw, is not the only time region parens fail to register – if there’s a syntax error in a preceding region, that can also break it :flushed:

Yes , I’ve noticed that too , a syntax error in a previous region with it’s own start-end parenthesis resulted in the next block of code( with no syntax error) not being executed correctly .
I copy-pasted the code in a new window and it worked
Things like these really make my head scratch
